It was so much fun working with these young kid actors. We had a great time and those kids are truly amazing.

I wouldn't play in Minnesota unless my career was at an end and I had to go to Minnesota to play the game.

I want to hit the ball and I want to get at-bats. The results really dont matter to me.

When I see that little white ball go up, I want to catch it, no matter what. If I have to knock myself silly doing it, so be it.

I just didn't have no edge for baseball. Once special coach Tony Oliva and former Twins coach Al Newman told me what happened, I couldn't function.

People see dark faces out there, and the perception is that they're African American. They're not us. They're impostors.

Spring training is for getting to know your teammates and forming a chemistry. I dont like it.

With faith, I know that everything will be taken care of. Even the difficult times become learning experiences to help make my faith stronger.

I'd rather save a home run than hit one. I've always been like that. Defense is what I pride myself on.

When I rely on my faith, I know God wants to reward and bless me but not because of some great act that I did but because of who He is.

Christ always had a passion for whatever He was doing. That's how I try to define myself as an athlete. That's the example I try to follow.

No one pays me to be nice.

I never studied art, but taught myself to draw by imitating the New Yorker cartoonists of that day, instead of doing my homework.

I think when I feel I'm at my best is when I'm on stage, and it's my version of jazz because it's just riffing or something.

Our love for God and our appreciation of His love and forgiveness will be in proportion to the recognition of our sin and unworthiness.

I do not want to criticize while my soldiers are still bleeding and dying in Iraq.

I have had many troubles in my life, but the worst of them never came.

It is often said that the magnitude of a people is measured by their ability to know how to win.

You should know how to work hard but also enjoy the work.

Dead men are heavier than broken hearts.

I believe in just enriching the economy. And we're leaving so much on the table, 72 percent of the planet.
