I'm a simple guy, you know? If I do something, it's not going to be, 'Look at this, look at that.' It just happens.

Ever since I was a little kid, I was competitive.

I don't just think regular season. I think playoffs. World Series. That's how I think.

If you don't control your emotions, your emotions will control your acts, and that's not good.

I never give up. If you beat me, you have to beat me one, three, four, five times, and I still don't give up.

Don't worry about what the people say; be yourself, say what you want to say WITH respect.

I have nothing to ask for, thanks to God. Everything I have, God has given me.

I see the hitter when he's moved in the box, like when he's moved closer to the plate or changed his stance. I see when the batter has moved his feet, and then I make my own adjustment.

Baseball was just the avenue that the Lord used so I can provide for my family.

I think the good Lord is a Yankee.

Every time before I throw my first pitch, I am praying. And not only that, in the bullpen I am praying.

The guilty are uncomfortable with silence.

If a ship is strong, the ocean's tides do not trouble it.

Right now as an artist, what I want to do is be a part of works that are unignorable. I couldn't be less interested in how people receive it, honestly. As long as it's unignorable.

And so I have come to understand that strength, inner strength, comes from receiving love as much as it comes from giving it.

Bridge is a game that separates the men from the boys. It also separates husbands and wives.

Running long offers a dress rehearsal. Running long teaches the stress of lifting feet 5,000 times per hour. Running long builds confidence.

I never gave up, even when people told me I'd never make it; Never underestimate the heart of a champion.

I feel like men don't hold the door open as much.

It was terrible when a single conversation with someone determined your whole future relationship.

I'm an enemy of what I call 'computer theology.' There's a class conflict out there. There's a techno-elite that lives in a different world.
