The game has a cleanness. If you do a good job, the numbers say so. You don't have to ask anyone or play politics. You don't have to wait for the reviews.

I became a good pitcher when I stopped trying to make them miss the ball and started trying to make them hit it.

People who write about spring training not being necessary have never tried to throw a baseball.

Pitching is the art of instilling fear.

A guy that throws what he intends to throw, that's the definition of a good pitcher.

He's the strangest hitter in baseball. Figure him out one way and he'll kill you another.

Show me a guy who can't pitch inside and I'll show you a loser.

I can't picture people talking about me 50 years from now.

If I could straighten it out (his golf swing), I'd be pitching at Dodger Stadium tonight.

I think it's incredible because there were guys like (Willie) Mays and (Mickey) Mantle and Henry Aaron who were great players for ten years... I only had four or five good years.

I've got a lot of years to live after baseball and I would like to live them with the complete use of my body.

You will always think that you cant do it, you may think that the idea you have is useless, but the idea you only have can change your life.

Each would treasure going to hell if it would keep the other safe!

Humans lie without a second thought.

If you're on the merry-go-round you have to go round.

My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you I the best place for the next moment.

I don't think about going back to the theater.

If values matter in an organisation, you have to be prepared to act consistently.

I just try and get better and better at me with every album.

Martial arts is not about picking your fights and picking how things go; it's about adapting to the how things are.

Yet there comes a time in the life of a patriot when abdication would amount to a betrayal if not outright treachery.
