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

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.

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.

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

True Leaders possess good core values and will align themselves with like thinking people to grow their leadership and prosper in Integrity~bns

I'm the fussiest eater on earth; my husband despairs. I like chicken and pasta, and can't resist milk chocolate. I figure if you're going to do something naughty, make it really enjoyable.

Democracy is not simply a political system; it is a moral movement and it springs from adventurous faith in human possibilities.

If the culture you have is radically different from an 'experiment and take-risk' culture, then you have a big change you going to have to make - and no little gimmicks are going to do it for you.

I have been contending all my life, and always with God.

Let me define prayer for you in this show. Prayer is man giving God permission or license to interfere in earth's affairs. In other words, prayer is earthly license for heavenly interference.

Take a play that you like but you think is flawed, and see if you can improve it and turn it into a musical. [...] Then make up your own story.

When you people have a set up joke and the joke is set up straight and the words are just well written, I always say "C'mon, humans don't speak that way."
