When I played, Old-Timers Day was my favorite day of the whole season, because I got to share a locker with one of the great Yankees... It was an out-of-body experience.

I was brought into situations God couldn't get out of, and I got out of them.

Some of my greatest memories were on a little league field. We didn't even have any uniforms.

I'd like to be remembered for the way I went about doing my job.

In my opinion, the best setup guys now have a tougher job than the closers. They pitch more innings, inherit more runners.

Every life lesson is on that baseball field.

I played for nine different teams throughout my 22-year major league career and I loved every moment of every team.

Hitters never showed me up, as hard as I threw. And I was pretty mean out on the mound.

I think that Jim Rice should be in the Hall of Fame. I think that Craig Nettles should be in the Hall of Fame and he didn't even get a sniff.

If your child's gonna be a star it's going to happen and just let it happen.

There is nobody that wants to win more than George Steinbrenner.

I decided I would fill the emptiness in me with God and with paint.

You have the power. You have the magic to transform the world

For my brothers it was easy to think about the future. They can be anything they want. But for me it was hard and for that reason I wanted to become educated and empower myself with knowledge.

Conscience is a cudgel which all men pick up in order to thwack their neighbors instead of applying it to their own shoulders.

I had no desire to be in the movies. All my training had been in the theater, thank God.

Every action needs to be prompted by a motive.

To me a man of meditation is bound to be immensely loving.

You do not truly own anything that you can't carry in both arms at a dead run

I think that obviously humans find it very difficult to believe that there is no there there. So they created these stories and myths to give their lives some meaning.

Given the current state of our finances, we could sure use a quarter of a trillion dollars a year recycling through the U.S. economy rather than through the economies of Iran, Russia, and Venezuela.
