Even though it might appear otherwise from what I've said, I am not a racist. I should not have said what I did because it is not what I believe in my heart.

The media loves nothing more than when there is a racial scandal or something. Racism, bigotry, these are just such hot button issues, and the media loves it.

My comments concerning persons afflicted with AIDS as well as various minority groups have left people wondering if I am a racist.

I'll admit I said something I shouldn't have said.

I have a group of close personal friends that are all my world. My family is my world. And as long as those people are happy with me, then I'm happy with myself.

The last thing I want to do... is offend people and ostracize myself.

I'm merely a baseball player, guys. In the great scheme of things, my thoughts, opinions and attitudes are of little importance.

Like me or don't like me, I'm not going to adjust my behavior, just to gain a few more positive fans.

I am extremely sorry for the stress and confusion I have brought on the Braves organization.

I have hurt people. It was unintentional, but nevertheless, there was damage done.

People don't always want to be with people. It gets tiring.

The world of most men is given to them by their culture..

I like hard work. I like putting the effort towards it and then being able to look at it and go, "All right, I did that."

Mo could paint pictures in the empty air with his voice alone.

Drugs are marvelous--it's life that's evil. And sometimes the only way to face it is to get completely twisted.

I take the threat of terrorism very seriously, and no one is more committed to hunting down terrorists and bringing them to justice, wherever they live, than I am.

Work hard on your job and work harder on yourself

Yajna is not yajna if one feels it to be burdensome or annoying.

The problem with me is I read everything, but it's only the bad stuff that stays with me. It's weird, you only need to be told something once and it stays with you.

Absolutely unmixed attention is prayer.
