The reason we are at the ballpark is to win that day's game, and we don't need to be concerned with anything else during the time we are in uniform. It makes things a lot simpler, a lot easier.

I want people to expect more from me because I expect more. If you don't set goals high, you're not trying.

We can talk about it all we want. But there comes a time when you just have to get it done and quit talking about it. There's been a lot of talk here and not enough doing.

Tarring a highway in 90-degree heat is hard work. This is baseball. Something I love.

Is Coors Field a good park to hit in? Yeah. So are Wrigley Field and Camden Yards. I didn't design Coors Field-I just play there.

I hate the ballplayer who says, 'I did everything I could have possibly done.' Because if you didn't win it all, you obviously didn't do everything you could have done.

I'm not a guy who is going to make a lot of noise. I hope to lead by example.

I have never used steroids. Never.

I rarely hit home runs in batting practice, and usually when I do feel that good, I'll have a bad game.

I'm very tough on myself. I definitely look at the negative too much.

Be bold enough to appreciate. Be strong enough not to criticize.

Be humble, desire insight, squash arrogance, and be cognizance of unknown.

Thanks cows. I appreciate your tastiness.

The problem that we have with a victim mentality is that we forget to see the blessings of the day. Because of this, our spirit is poisoned instead of nourished.

I know there is a certain amount of negativity I have to deal with.

What happened yesterday is over. What happens today is up to you.

I think it's keeping a surprise element, so that the audience never gets ahead of you. I like to pull the rug out from audiences, I don't like for them to think they know what's happening next.

We're supposed to be civilized. We're supposed to go to work every day. We're supposed to be nice to our friends and send Christmas cards to our parents.

They were being driven to a prison, through no fault of their own, in all probability for life. In comparison, how much easier it would be to walk to the gallows than to this tomb of living horrors!

People first, then money, then things.
