You can never fall in love with a team.

My timing’s a little off. But I’m about to get hotter than Jamaica in the middle of August.

Life is a challenge that you need. There's things in life that are going to throw you into the ground, but if you learn how to get up, that means you are not a quitter.

Everybody has something to prove each year. Everybody has a responsibility in this game. Even the batboy.

Problems of human behavior still continue to baffle us, but at least in the Library we have them properly filed.

I was in Hollis' band for eight years, playing drums. At one time we had Barry Beckett, Jimmy Johnson, David Hood - everybody but Roger Hawkins. We had a hell of a band.
