The only name on my birth certificate was Henley, no first name.

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.

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

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.

In matters of grave importance, style, not sincerity, is the vital thing.

What are wits for unless a man uses them?

Love is the light by which all are brought forward out of darkness.

Dating is all about the chase. It's fun!

Legacy is a stupid thing! I don't want a legacy.

It's turning out to be a bad day, a day when the sun feels like teeth.

I hate amateurs. I hate unprofessional people. There are enough people who can do jobs decently that there's no reason that people who cannot do them decently [should] pretend to be great at it.

The best feature is less features.

If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared.

Change what you can, accept what you can't, and be smart enough to know the difference
