This is my best time of the year (spring training). Heck, once the season starts, I go to work.

I'll play out the string and leave baseball without a tear. A man can't play games his whole life.

If your not practicing, somebody else is, somewhere, and he'll be ready to take your job.

I'm a guy who just wanted to see his name in the lineup everyday. To me, baseball was a passion to the point of obsession.

Fifty years from now I'll be just three inches of type in a record book.

Associate with those who help you believe in yourself.

All beginnings are hard.

When I look at a digitally acquired and projected image, it looks inferior against an original negative anamorphic print or an IMAX one.

The real truth of life is on the streets. Photograph the daily lives of people, and how they exist, and how they fight for space and time and pleasure.

My real hair color is kind of a dark blonde. Now I just have mood hair.

I wish I had more hair on my head. Maybe if I sprinkled fertilizer on it, it would grow

I was so opposed to the war in Vietnam that I initially refused President Nixon's urgings for me to go there.

If you look good, we look good.
