I don't want to be a Major League coach.

I like to be against the odds. I'm not afraid to be lonely at the top. With me, it's just the satisfaction of the game. Just performance.

Everyone in society should be a role model, not only for their own self-respect, but for respect from others.

I don't know if steroids are going to help you in baseball. I just don't believe it. I don't believe steroids can help eye-hand coordination and technically hit a baseball.

Young players need to know how to take care of themselves for life after baseball.

I'm not afraid to be lonely at the top.

My career is an open book, but my life is not.

But to be the best, you must face the best. And to overcome your fear, you must deal with the best.

I don't sign for white people.

I'm clean, I've always been clean.

My life is in shambles. It is crazy. It couldn't get any crazier. I'm just trying to stay sane.

No matter what you do if it isn't genuine it's not worth doing, if it isn't meant with good heart it's not worth saying, and if it's a darkness around you perhaps it's not worth remembering.

Make requests, not demands. "Please" kill that zombie, honey, I'm out of bullets.

Holiness has nothing to do with what we know and everything to do with Who we know.

I keep a conscience uncorrupted by religion, a judgment undimmed by politics and patriotism, a heart untainted by friendships and sentiments unsoured by animosities.

I do not think that condemning people who murder and killing them necessarily sends out the right message.

Love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea.

Although I may not be my brother's keeper, I am my brother's brother, and 'because I have been given much, I too must give.'

Maybe that was how it was with all first loves. They own a little piece of your heart, always.

To see was terrifying, and to stop seeing tore me apart from my forehead to my throat.

I make love to pressure.
