It's going to be tough (winning the MVP Award). I'm not really considered a media darling.

I mean, people think I'm too intense for baseball. I've always excelled to be the best, no matter what, but it's like people think something is wrong with that.

I know the Chicago media will write a lot of bad things, but they'll write a lot of good things too. I can live with that. In Cleveland, all I got was negative press.

While in the clinic, I discovered I had problems with concentration, motivation, attitude, and temper. I have found a new way of life through the clinic's program and a 12-step recovery plan.

Going to a new team is like going to a new high school. Nobody knows you. It's a chance to rebuild your image.

When you talk about locker room betting, we bet on everything... It's no different than anyone else's office pool. Money changes hands in the locker room; it's whatever you want.

People don't need to know what Albert Belle is thinking. I've learned from my mistakes in the past, and that's what's made me a better person.

I look back over my career and I almost pissed it away. I got a second chance and I've made the most of my opportunity. I play every game like it's the last game of my career.

I have high expectations for myself. I'm not out there playing the game just to be playing it. I want to win a championship.

I'm pretty much right on schedule. Start off slow, finish up strong. I don't know why everyone panics. I've been doing this for ten years now. Why change?

Angels are attracted to humanity whenever you reach out to your Soul when you pray or meditate, when you are open to the world of Spirit and quiet your mind.

I write romance and passion to savour love twice, in the moment and in retrospect.

I'm not done with love, but I refuse to settle. I am a hopeless romantic. And I won't stop till I get it right.

In government as well as in trade a new era came to the colonies in 1763.

After watching wrestling for 20 years, I thought I had enough confidence to do it. There were no wrestling schools at the time.

Conscience, the executioner, shaking her secret scourge.

Sometimes I get lazy and let the dishes stack up. But they don't stack too high. I've only got four dishes.

The artist uses the talent he has, wishing he had more talent. The talent uses the artist it has, wishing it had more artist.

Free people have a serious problem with place, being in a place, using up a place, deciding which new place to rotate to. Americans ricochet around the United States like billiard balls.

We never live so intensely as when we love strongly. We never realize ourselves so vividly as when we are in full glow of love for others.
