How can you not have fun going around the country playing baseball for a living? Being a baseball player is the next best thing to being a rock star.

Being patient, feeling comfortable, taking my walks-that's part of my game.

I'm going to play my game and be who I am. I don't think anyone puts more pressure on me than I do on myself.

Winning depends on where you put your priorities. It's usually best to put them over the fence.

No matter what players say or people say, you want to be liked and appreciated, even if you've had a downfall.

I'm too busy having fun to be mean and nasty.

What we should have done a long time ago was stand up - players, ownership, everybody - and said: 'We made a mistake.'

People ask me, "What would you be doing without baseball?" I don't know... super-sizing fries?

I had fun coming every day and playing in front of a packed house - it was exciting.

The biggest thing as I have gotten older is the calmness that's come over me.

As a younger player, you always kind of play with that fear of failure.

I imagined I was God for a millisecond And became speechless for a long time.

The best self help book I've ever read was, The little Engine that Could.

My whole life, you have made decisions for me.""Your whole life, " Georgiana pointed out, "totals nine years.

Isn't it weird the way you remember things, when someone's gone?

Something feels funny. I must be thinking too hard.

Nothing makes you feel more stupid than finding out you were wrong when you thought you were loved.

You tell them - you tell them there's a cost.....Every decision we make in life, there's always a cost.

I don't read the press, I don't watch endless music TV.

If people feel 4-4-2 is the way forward in international football, they'll have to wait until I'm out of a job.

The power of prayer and faith can heal and bring happiness. The real tragedy is that the people that are helped by this don't realize that this power is really coming from within.
