Everything I was, physically and mentally, that's what I put on that field.

You've gotta find a way to get out of your own way, so you can progress in life.

So what I did on the field was the essence of what I am. Remember me like that.

Pete Rose came over to the Phillies in '79 and he became the catalyst that helped us to put it all together.

I trained myself to perform on the field.

The final release point for the fastball is the tips of your fingers.

That's the past. I don't agree with retrospect.

Rooting is following, and I don't do that, but I'd like to see the Phillies win because I love Philadelphia.

I threw all my pitches over the top which was important for me because my slider was hard to tell from my fastball at release.

I was probably in the best shape of any athlete at the time, but you don't get to pass judgment on yourself.

To get the feel of how the slider should roll off of your index finger, use this grip and practice at half speed and roughly half the distance to the mound.

I look for the consensus because the consensus drives the policy into new places.

Women's networks are a necessary part of life. A mixture of empathy and brainstorming can move mountains.

If you have ever spray-painted your girlfriends name on an overpass, you might be a redneck.

When you think about the person responsible for creating the character and the dialogue, Bill Monahan, who's a Boston guy, obviously, his words roll off my tongue quite nicely.

Great men are but life-sized. Most of them, indeed, are rather short.

Always focus on your effort, instead of the results of that effort.
