I have to work hard for my family. They don't have a lot.

I feel a lot more comfortable at shortstop, but it's no problem, I'll move to make room.

I put the ball in play. That's what I want.

When I get to first base, I start thinking about third.

I never thought I might become famous. It takes getting used to.

I try not to pay much attention to what people say-I just try to concentrate on the game.

Patience is very important, especially at the plate.

I like triples-when I hit a ball in the gap, all I think about is a triple.

I'm the leadoff hitter, it's my job to lead this team. I know people say the way I go is how the Mets go, so I'll do whatever it takes.

You have as much laughter as you have faith.

My humor is channeling everything through my brain. For example, when I talk about something, it's how Richard Lewis feels about it. I'm a storyteller. I do a lot of free association.

I lose my patience, and I own it too, When works are censur'd, not as bad but new; While if our Elders break all reason's laws, These fools demand not pardon but Applause.

As an athlete, I hope we can remain focused on the Olympic spirit which celebrates achievement in sport by peoples of all nations.

What had seemed like love was betrayal

We opened El Bulli; there were no secrets there. The recipes were not secret. Anybody who came, the recipes were there for them. This was unthinkable then.

Writing pilots is such a specific thing. It's not even really writing TV shows. A pilot is its own beast.

That's why I call the Senate the graveyard of democracy, because even when you have 58 senators, they can block it and block it and block it.

Scary Movie' is very broad, and the reality is extreme.

I honor religion except when it gets into shedding blood.
