Don't worry, Rickey, you're still the best.

I like playing for Oakland, they have a very colorful uniform.

Oakland is home, and you always want to go home. Anytime you get the chance, you're happy to go home.

My dream was to play football for the Oakland Raiders. But my mother thought I would get hurt playing football, so she chose baseball for me. I guess moms do know best.

You have to keep running. I always believed I was going to be safe.

Rickey doesn't have albums, Rickey has CDs.

If my uniform doesn't get dirty, I haven't done anything in the baseball game.

Rickey don't like it when Rickey can't find Rickey's limo.

I can't find a job. It makes me crazy.

I told myself that if I ever make it to the big leagues that I would be the one to appreciate the fans. Take a little time out to sign autographs and shake their hands and say hello to them.

Thank God for the founding fathers, who set up three separate branches of government. And the media acting as the Fourth Estate.

Ballet is good, because it makes you stand up tall.

Lovely are the curves of the white owl sweeping Wavy in the dusk lit by one large star. Lone on the fir-branch, his rattle-note unvaried, Brooding o'er the gloom, spins the brown eve-jar.

I watched a bunch of kids movies on Christmas. I was kind of joking with our family by asking, "Is anyone allowed to die in a kid's movie anymore?"

I think people who say radio is gone or radio is irrelevant are way off the mark. It's still by a huge degree the dominant medium. I know it's changing but radio is still incredibly important.

Generally, I like to appear smart. I don't admit being stupid when there's any hope I'm not.

There are plenty of good Indian writers in English, and none of us feel we are carrying the burden of being a poster boy.
