I’m always looking to improve. And every year I want to do better than the year before.

Whether you have a great game or a terrible game, tomorrow's another day and you've got to come out here and compete.

I take positives out of negatives all the time.

I take great pride in going out there and playing through pain.

Baseball caps never go out of style and are easy to wear. Beyond baseball, beyond sports, I really do think a baseball cap is for everyone.

As soon as baseball becomes a job, as soon as I stop caring, as soon as the smile goes away, I'll hang up my spikes and do something else.

Sure, finishing last has negative connotations. But finishing second-to-last or last is still losing.

I just want to taste what it's like to win in New York

I want to win a World Series. I couldn't care less about MVP.

When I first got to the majors in 2004, female fans held up signs asking me to marry them. Those girls today were what, 13, 14? I'm 23, but that's a little young even for me.

I don't care how much I'm talked about or hyped. It's still up to me to go out and perform.

You can break a thing, but you cannot always guide it afterward into the shape you want.

The scratches in Yoko Ono records are moments of relief.

I do like the research part of writing, I must admit.

There is more grace per square foot in San Francisco than any place on earth.

You have the ability to change or create anything in your life, starting now.

Be polite to all, friendly to none. Be professional. Be ready to kill everyone and everything.

There is my body, in it an ocean formed of his glory, all the creation, all the universes, all the galaxies, are lost in it.

I strongly believe that love is the answer and that it can mend even the deepest unseen wounds. Love can heal, love can console, love can strengthen, and yes, love can make change.

Love will subsist on wonderfully little hope but not altogether without it.

Nobody counts the number of ads you run; they just remember the impression you make.
