I'm an easy person to get along with. Even when I struggle, I have the same attitude.

You can never fall in love with a team.

My timing’s a little off. But I’m about to get hotter than Jamaica in the middle of August.

Life is a challenge that you need. There's things in life that are going to throw you into the ground, but if you learn how to get up, that means you are not a quitter.

Everybody has something to prove each year. Everybody has a responsibility in this game. Even the batboy.

They pick me [to be tested for steroids] every time. I don't know why. I don't know if it's because I'm a big guy, or what, but all I know is all they are going to find is a lot of rice and beans.

It doesn't matter if we are down 3-0. We just have got to keep the faith like that one piece you were saying in "Keep on Going," because the game is not over till the last out.

If they're not going to respect you, then they best damn well fear you.

Life is like a race, whenever I found a finish line, I lose, bcoz I'm last.. :(

You get there by realizing you are already there.

I had reconciled myself to being happily out to pasture, a bit.

Thats part of the fun, I guess, is having people excited about seeing you and signing autographs and getting to meet fans and things like that.

The more we practice risking to leap, the more proficient we become, the more our fears melt away, and we grow ever stronger in the doing.

The dangers of unexamined and unregulated monopoly power, particularly in the state executive, are hardly news. The right reaction is not passive acquiescence.

I think if you have the opportunity to bully your opponent then you have to take that chance.
