The three most important pitches I threw in my life were all fastballs.

I could throw pretty hard. I might strike out 16 guys, but I might walk 10. I mean, I was wild.

When I played, I never needed the spotlight, nor did I want it. I simply wanted to play baseball and be respected by my teammates and the opposing players.

My first year in the big leagues, I made $17,000. It was easy to go out and get another $17,000 relief pitcher. I never worried about innings or pitches. I just pitched.

I'm basically a country person.

Goose Gossage is a friend of mine, and he's definitely a Hall of Fame pitcher in my mind.

So…we’ll start by boasting, will we? Just like old times! Very well, demigod.

I sometimes think if I did not write I would be a madwoman. Now I am a sane woman with a lot of mad pages.

Disguise, I see thou art a wickedness, / Wherein the...enemy does much.

If thine enemy hunger feed him if he thirst give him drink.

If you've got somebody in harm's way, you want the president being -- making advice, not -- be given advice by the military, and not making decisions based upon the latest Gallup poll or focus group.

In the long vista of the years to roll,\\ Let me not see my country's honor fade;\\ Oh! let me see our land retain its soul!\\ Her pride in Freedom, and not Freedom's shade.

I love seeing someone else's health improve.

I'm basically a sexless geek. Look at me, I have pasty-white skin, I have acne scars and I'm five-foot-nothing. Does that sound like a real sexual dynamo to you?

Arsenal are quick to credit Bergkamp with laying on 75% of their nine goals
