Cruelty to children is the thing I can least bear in the world.

I hope to have more time to think, to look at the sky, dealing with less crisis management, to learn another language, to travel.

Sometimes I think it'd be fun to do a completely different job for a while. You've got one life and you do the same job for the whole of it, and you think - was that a good use of a life?

I have a wardrobe full of expensive clothes, but wear the same two T-shirts. I've never found a look.

It is intensely frustrating. The longer you live, the more interesting life gets, and yet many of the parts involve carrying trays and putting lamb chops down in front of the leading man.

The railroad originally was as completely dissociated from steam propulsion as was the ship

I collect flickering stars in old pickling jars, poking holes in the lids so they can breathe.

I've matured a lot as a pitcher. I understand what my strengths are. I've learned that I've got a great sinker, I get a lot of ground balls, and it's easy to get a ground-ball double play.

Plenty of church members are shaky about what they believe, while not many are shaken by what they believe.
