What I don't want to do is just play for the sake of playing.

You can never fall in love with a team.

My timing’s a little off. But I’m about to get hotter than Jamaica in the middle of August.

Life is a challenge that you need. There's things in life that are going to throw you into the ground, but if you learn how to get up, that means you are not a quitter.

Everybody has something to prove each year. Everybody has a responsibility in this game. Even the batboy.

I feel like I have to avoid certain thrift store-isms, having been known for the thrift store paintings. It's like I have to not paint that way.

I don't kiss on the first date. My friends always make fun of me for that! But I will hold hands.

In an industrial society which confuses work and productivity, the necessity of producing has always been an enemy of the desire to create.

We are more than the work we perform. In fact, I'd say that our work is a mere representation of who we are underneath.

Now everyone has eyes, and now everyone has evidence. That's really changed how we tell the news and what we get from it.

The moon, like to a silver bow new bent in heaven.
