My life was on the line here and my career and everything I worked for, it was hanging by a thread

It was a hard time. It was something I would love to erase from my memory.

I have never intentionally used steroids. Never. Ever. Period.

Let me start by telling you this: I have never used steroids. Period. I don't know how to say it any more clearly than that. Never.

I have never used steroids. Period.

I hope that people learn from my mistake and I hope that the fans forgive me.

The other deals with my life and my livelihood and my family and all that I stand for.

Well, you know, I left Cuba as a kid when I was 6 years old back in 1971.

I love baseball, and the door remains open.

My parents didn't agree with what was going on, you know, with the communists coming in, Fidel Castro. I didn't see the reason why I needed to go back there and be a part of that exhibition

I respect the Hall of Fame, and if they think that I'm worthy enough, I would be very honored. And if they don't, I gave it all that I had to this game.

Man has no right to kill his brother. It is no excuse that he does so in uniform: he only adds the infamy of servitude to the crime of murder.

If you wish to view this as a cautionary tale, be my guest.

Bring a torch, if you've got one. It's as dark as hell and stinks of something far worse than cheese.

Every morning I have something to do, I'm better off. It's bad to get up and not have something to do.

I'm more focused as a singer and hands-on with music and more exacting, and less trying to furiously fit a thousands thoughts into a four minute song.

I don't mean I give the same intensity to everything I do - if I did that, I'd be dead, but I'm very conscious, I make notes, and I have a fairly good idea of what's happening in my life.

Everybody picks up on the sensational things, but no one really gets it.

See stars in the changing season and dance among them, shining.

The clash of ideas is not weakness. Truth reaches its place when tussling with error.

Acting as a career is a long term thing and that work is kind of progressive and you can build on a career. It's part of the great tradition of the theater to me.
