I have gone from a player who thought he would spend his whole career with one organization to a player who's been with three organizations in a week. It's like rotisserie baseball.

I feel pretty good. My body actually looks like an old banana, but it's fine.

I'm not trying to prove anybody wrong, I'm just trying to prove something to myself.

Yes, hard is good. When I was in high school, I spent a lot of time on my knees playing with balls. I guess it was only natural that I became a catcher.

Never let your dreams go away.

A pitcher never gets me out. I get myself out. That's no disrespect to the pitcher, but there should be no excuse for failure. You can't have an excuse to fail.

I was a last round draft pick. Nobody wanted me. I could count the amount of scouts that told me to go to school, to forget baseball.

You can't get real happy or real depressed when you play baseball. Baseball is a great sport in that it offers a player a lot of opportunities for atonement.

I long for the days when athletes were revered. I want to see the romance return to sports, to see people enjoy the game purely for the game and the players.

One thing anyone can go through is a slump. Unless you're Greg Maddux, it's going to happen to everybody.

I believe that religion is the belief in future life and in God. I don't believe in either. I don't believe in God as I don’t believe in Mother Goose.

I don't put big concepts on my work, and it's all often about keeping actors in a room together and not letting them leave.

It's interesting when something's written about you, and there's comments after.

I always listen to a lot of different music when I am working on a project.

If there's an Internet signal, people will always have access to God's Word and for that I'm profoundly grateful for the technology and people who've made this access to life-giving words possible.

Larry Bird just throws the ball in the air and God moves the basket underneath it.

When we are forced to do multiple things at once, not only do we perform worse on all of them but our memory decreases and our general well-being suffers a palpable hit.

When you're strong and good, then you're Bad.

In some ways, I feel like I've been such a dilettante for so many years, just picking up instruments and stretching myself so thin.
