I can still steal a base anytime I get ready.

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.

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.

The Russians have fixed world chess.

At the Argentina game, how would you have guessed that Darren Anderton would have gone off with cramp?

Worship songs can't just be rooted in culture - they won't be deep enough. They have to be rooted in scripture.

If you want to see eccentricities, I'll be grotesque before your eyes.

I'm pretty good at putting up drywall and I'm an excellent kisser. That's pretty much all of my skills right there.

I tell stories through dance, and I think that's why I'm so attracted to the theatre because even the choreography in theatre moves the plot forward at all times.
