If my uniform doesn't get dirty, I haven't done anything in the baseball game.

I like playing for Oakland, they have a very colorful uniform.

Oakland is home, and you always want to go home. Anytime you get the chance, you're happy to go home.

My dream was to play football for the Oakland Raiders. But my mother thought I would get hurt playing football, so she chose baseball for me. I guess moms do know best.

You have to keep running. I always believed I was going to be safe.

Rickey doesn't have albums, Rickey has CDs.

Rickey don't like it when Rickey can't find Rickey's limo.

I can't find a job. It makes me crazy.

Rickey was never motivated by stats. He was motivated by numbers. Wins, runs, steals.

I told myself that if I ever make it to the big leagues that I would be the one to appreciate the fans. Take a little time out to sign autographs and shake their hands and say hello to them.

I wonder if one of the penalties of growing older is that you become more and more conscious that nothing is very permanent.

I don't find intimate scenes more difficult than other scenes.

The skies were blue when I was coming up. I want my kids to have the same opportunity, if not better, than I had.

Adam does most of the work when it comes to videos and he basically does the same as I do with the lyrics. The videos are his visual interpretations of our music.

Teach kids not to fight. Can they change taxes? I'd get rid of all the congestion charges, because they've not stopped traffic. They're a waste of time, not that I'm getting all political.

How'd you like to gaze at a beer can throughout eternity? It might not be so bad. There'd be nothing to fear.

Men live in a fantasy world. I know this because I am one, and I actually receive my mail there

I was consumed with being a mom. I didn't think beyond that.
