The way I perform best is with a clear and happy mind.

I enjoy coming to the ballpark every day. I don't go to work. I come here to play.

I've been given an opportunity right now and I'm going to run through a wall to try to take advantage of it.

I play baseball and I like to read. What makes that odd?

I'm a baseball player. I'm also a guy who mows his lawn and plays with his dog.

I feel good. At this point, the only thing I'm trying to do is accumulate at-bats and get my work in, and so far that's what I'm doing.

I hope I haven't reached a pinnacle...I hope there's something more for me in baseball and in life.

Defense is a lot more natural to me than offense.

My dream was to play Major League baseball. I've lived that dream.

I hope I haven't maxed out, because I'm not satisfied. I hope I can be a better ball player, and I hope I'm on my way.

I actually don't think that I have a problem playing for managers. But history, people might think otherwise.

The Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose.

It comes down to building your own world out here on the road. It's who you surround yourself with. My band and crew are really positive guys.

Liberalism defines government as tyrant father but demands it behave as nurturant mother.

O money, money, how blindly thou hast been worshipped, and how stupidly abused! Thou are health and liberty and strength, and he that has thee may rattle his pockets at the foul fiend!

I'm still trying to understand the wearing off high heels at the airport.

We always hope, and in all things it is better to hope than to despair.

As always, I am saved by the inability of living creatures to believe anything that might cause the walls of their little mental assumptions to crumble.

In Cree, an oskâpêwis is a servant or a helper, someone who hauls in rocks for sweats, or pipes or medicines. I equate that to leadership. You're a servant or helper of people.

Never relinquish your terrors. That's when they catch you.

We're all in this together is a far better philosophy than you're on your own.
