I'm the same guy I've always been. I'm the same guy now as when I was hitting 50 home runs. I don't change.

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.

I'm not thinking home run, I just want to put a good swing on the ball. When you go looking for home runs, you get off of your swing. So you don't think of homers when you go up to the plate.

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.

This is our f---g city. And nobody is going to dictate our freedom.

I'm a winner, I play to win, I want to make good things go on around me.

I just want to play baseball.

All good leaders are optimists. They always see opportunity where others see hardship

Don't be like those who constantly upgrade their gadgets but never their minds.

What can be more foolish than to think that all this rare fabric of heaven and earth could come by chance, when all the skill of art is not able to make an oyster!

A lot of people think I'm naturally confident. I am not naturally confident!

Art is not to throw light but to be light.

[I am] loyal, ambitious and clever.

I'm super-obsessed with law enforcement. I'm what you'd call a 'cop fan.

How we see the world changes all the time. It all depends on our mood.

I was born in and worked in a period that could be called enviable.

At this point in my life Id like to live as if only love mattered.
