The thing I learned when I was playing was that your best way of winning was to make it difficult for the other team to score in the last three innings.

I'm a great believer in the character of the club. To me, character has a lot to do with how you compete. That creates urgency and toughness. That elevates the talent that you have.

Even when you have three strikes, you're still not out. There is always something else you can do.

Pressure comes when someone calls on you to perform a task for which you are unprepared.

Play the game right. If you play the game intelligently and execute the fundamentals, you can win.

It's like most anything. If you want to be a loser, there's always a way to dwell on the negative. If you want to win, there's always a way to think positively.

Just because you're down to your last strike, you're not out yet. You can always do more. You'll always have more at-bats to take. That's true in baseball, in rescuing animals, and in life generally.

Wisdom is hard to get but hardest to lose if once obtained.

God's protection is our prosperity.

Maybe it's a compliment to the film that you can't do that with it, that it can't be explained in 15 seconds.

If i'm not trying my best, I might as well retire.

There's been a lot of really cool stuff that's happened to me throughout my career, and I remember everything, but I don't think I savored every moment of it like I should have or like I do now.

I'd like to point out to people the divine in a musical language that transcends words. I want to speak to their souls.

Following your own vision is one of the only things that will sustain you.

This train of thought was heading straight for Pity City, and she wanted to get off.

I was Google's first woman engineer.

I enjoy the attention. I like the cameras. In a way, they make me play better.
