Before I point a finger at anyone, I have to point it at myself first.

We won't let history define our future. Our actions will do the talking. Our determination will turn doubters into believers.

We focus on what we do right, we learn from what we did wrong, we move onto the next day that's what prepares us, that's what makes us strong?

In order to be better, you should expect to be better.

Life doesn't always go the way you planned it to go. Sometimes you have detours you have to take.

The good thing about this game? There's always tomorrow.

I don't really look at myself as a power hitter. I look at myself as someone who drives the ball to the gaps, hits line drives.

Honestly, I don't think I'm doing anything any different right now. You swing, and the ball finds a hole. That's it. That's the game of baseball.

One thing I always remember: Frustration is built by unmet expectations.

I am not gamesome: I do lack some partof that quick spirit that is in Antony.

I have a fond place in my heart for Seattle, so I hope that an NBA team comes back to this great city, this great sports city.

Whatever the circumstances of your life, the understanding of type can make your perceptions clearer, your judgements sounder, and your life closer to your heart's desire

How many people have had starter marriages? For some reason, mine really offends people.

In life you make the small decisions with your head and the big decisions with your heart.

I crave white on white and black, but my thoughts race in glorious technicolour, prodding me awake, whipping away the warm blanket of invisibility every time it sears to smother my mind in nothing.

You'll get through this. And I know it's impossible to believe right now, but it gets better. Trust me.

Being realistic is the most commonly travelled road to mediocracy

My dad was an agent for Met Life. In the '50s, I remember the mortality rate was something like - you had - 58 was the average age. Then it was moved up to 62, and then 65, 68.
