You've gotta find a way to get out of your own way, so you can progress in life.

So what I did on the field was the essence of what I am. Remember me like that.

Pete Rose came over to the Phillies in '79 and he became the catalyst that helped us to put it all together.

I trained myself to perform on the field.

The final release point for the fastball is the tips of your fingers.

That's the past. I don't agree with retrospect.

Rooting is following, and I don't do that, but I'd like to see the Phillies win because I love Philadelphia.

I threw all my pitches over the top which was important for me because my slider was hard to tell from my fastball at release.

Everything I was, physically and mentally, that's what I put on that field.

I was probably in the best shape of any athlete at the time, but you don't get to pass judgment on yourself.

There is no index of character so sure as the voice.

Wow, the entire network of anchors has been hired to be the press secretary.

If you want something bad enough the whole world conspires to help you get it.

Video games in some ways are too powerful, they have too much resonance with kids. And it's very easy to overdose on video games and to let the outside world go by.

I'd love to give Malcolm the truck. We're going to figure out how to make that happen.
