Physical ability only goes so far. You have to work hard the rest of the way.

Why tone down my aggressiveness? When I do, I get in trouble.

You are recognized by your bat. If you are the best hitting shortstop out there, that's how you win a Gold Glove. That's the way it is. It shouldn't be-it's a defensive award.

You have to believe in yourself every day.

No, I'm not the prototypical leadoff man. I'm not the prototypical anything. I just try to be the prototypical Jimmy Rollins.

Hustle is just playing the game right.

For me personally it doesn't matter who is the manager, I'm going to go out there and play for the manager, and play for this uniform as a team.

My role is to set everything in motion.

I planned on being successful ever since I was young. To me, this is nothing to be surprised about.

Life is not about having perfect days. Life is not about handling days perfectly. Life is about perfecting one’s character through the having and handling of every given day.

Neither. I did not bring my crown, and the last thing I would want to do is get into politics.

Each morning when you wake, and everyday for the rest of your life... Expect the best of yourself, and accept the rest from yourself.

Doubt that there could ever be...a more wicked MC. 'Cuz AIDS infested child molesters aren't sicker than me.

The one thing that flies in the face of all human history and experience, is that the government can do a superior job than the private sector.

My voice is for hire. My endorsement is not for hire. I will do a voice-over, but I cannot endorse without making a different kind of commitment. My politics are very personal and subjective.

There are only two realities in life: death and laughter. We can do nothing to change the former, so we might as well do all we can to save the latter.

The goal for me in business is to work on things I want to work on, and be as successful as I can, without achieving any sort of attention or fame. That would be the best. That would be ideal.

The pride of the peacock is the glory of God. The lust of the goat is the bounty of God. The wrath of the lion is the wisdom of God. The nakedness of woman is the work of God.
