If you are used to going five innings and then go six or seven, you won't have your good stuff. They need to start that from the minor leagues and give pitchers strong arms.

You had to pitch in and out. The zone didn't belong to the hitters it belonged to the pitchers. Today, if you pitch too far inside, the umpire would stop you right there. I don't think it's fair.

We are all so close. We are godfather to each others' kids. I was the best man at Jesus' wedding.

There is no way to have a strong arm if you don't throw enough.

I have five pitches. Fast ball, change, curve, slider, screwball. I don't know any hitters. Catcher, he tells me what to do. I can get any pitch I want over the plate.

The only way you preserve pitching arms is throwing that makes the arm stronger.

My children are lovely. They're perfect.

When I say to a parent, "read to a child", I don't want it to sound like medicine. I want it to sound like chocolate.

What do we mean by the public interest? Some say the public interest is merely what interests the public. I disagree.

A man really believes not what he recites in his creed, but only the things he is ready to die for.

Love is a well from which we can drink only as much as we have put in, and the stars that shine from it are only our eyes looking in.
