Next year I want to be better than this season, and the year after that, better than the year before.

I just show up to the yard, work hard, and play as hard as I can.

People always ask me if I wish I were bigger. I tell them no. I always wanted to be a miniature badass.

I'm going to go out there and be who I am, and if you don't like it, then watch somebody else.

I don' really care what people think. I don't really have to prove anything to anybody. I just have to prove stuff to my teammates.

I put the blinders on and just work as hard as I can, and hopefully I'll just continue to be a better player.

I just try to see the ball and hit it. If I get a hit, I get a hit. If I get out, I get out. There's no secret about it.

I don't like losing at anything. Why should I?

I go out and break my leg next year and can't play ever again, I got 40 million dollars. Nothing's guaranteed in this world, except that 40 million dollars.

Just because somebody swings one way and I swing another way doesn't mean he's better than me or I'm better than him ... Does my swing get hits? Yes.

I hang in there all the time. I'm not afraid to be taken out. I think that's the biggest thing to do-just stay in there on the double play.

I think if Tottenham are going to be top four side, the fans and the club will need to get away from the philosophy of 'pretty football', that's got to go.

In the countryside, litter doesn't have a friend. It doesn't have anybody who's saying, 'Wait a minute, this is really starting to get out of control.'

He always had a chip on his shoulder that he was ready to use to kindle an argument.

It is safest to grasp the concept of the postmodern as an attempt to think the present historically in an age that has forgotten how to think historically in the first place.

Every time that we try to lift a problem from our own shoulders, and shift that problem to the hands of the government, to the same extent we are sacrificing the liberties of our people.

To grasp the full significance of life is the actor's duty, to interpret it is his problem, and to express it his dedication.

I remember thinking that I'd never show my arms on TV, but over time you loosen up.

It’s a huge thing, this Shift, just as big as I imagined. My brain doesn’t want to think anymore; all of a sudden it wants to do.

As far as the filmmaking process is concerned, stars are essentially worthless - and absolutely essential.
