Baseball wasn't easy for me.

A lot of people say this honor validates my career, but I didn't work hard for validation.

I didn't play the game right because I saw a reward at the end of the tunnel.

I've been proud to be a lifelong Chicago Cub and still be with the Cubs. That's always been important to me and I think it's always been special

It didn't happen, but I feel fortunate for the two chances we had and it's just a shame we didn't go to a World Series for Cub fans.

I was taught you never, ever disrespect your opponent or your teammates or your organization or your manager, and never, ever your uniform.

I know that I'm Muslim. I have an Arabic name. And even though I represent Team USA and I have that Olympic hardware, it doesn't change how you look and how people perceive you.

When you fall, get right back up. Just keep going, keep pushing it.

Much of directing [a movie] is not directing but just listening and being present in the moment and just keeping your eyes open.

I don't feel like I'm running against them, I feel like I'm running to try to show the American people what I can do and what I can accomplish.

A related advantage of mission oriented ideas, is that you yourself will be dedicated to them.

Reducing the price of cancer drugs is a humanitarian move.
