I'm the guy that made Joe DiMaggio famous.

I'd rather be lucky than good

I've got a new invention. It's a revolving bowl for tired goldfish.

One rule I had was make your best pitch and back up third base. That relay might get away and you've got another shot at him.

I was never nervous when I had the ball, but when I let go I was scared to death.

Hell, Lou (Gehrig) it took fifteen years to get you out of a game. Sometimes I'm out in fifteen minutes.

I talked to the ball a lot of times in my career. I yelled, "Go foul. Go foul."

The secret of my success was clean living and a fast outfield.

I'm something like the old soak who never knew whether his wife told him to take one drink and come home at 12, or take 12 and come home at one.

You just can't imagine the kind of guy he was without seeing him play. He was a circus, a play, a movie, all rolled into one.

I was the worst hitter ever. I never even broke a bat until last year when I was backing out of the garage.

It is only in alert silence that truth can be.

Problems cannot be solved by thinking within the framework in which the problems were created.

There is no sports event like Opening Day of baseball, the sense of beating back the forces of darkness and the National Football League.

I was reminded of another very special word when I was driving into Ann Arbor this morning, and that word is homecoming. Our family's had three homecomings to Ann Arbor, Michigan, in my lifetime.

A career is all very well, but no one lives by work alone.

To find your angels... Start trusting your inner voice and intuition

I'm also very proud to be a part of a trilogy of films that, if they do nothing else, allow people to check their problems at the door, sit down and have a good time.

Some of my best memories are sitting on my dad's lap, cheering on Olga and Nadia, Carl Lewis and others for their brilliance and perfection.

Fall down nine times, get up ten.

Human existence is so fragile a thing and exposed to such dangers that I cannot love without trembling.
