I'm not afraid to be lonely at the top.

I don't know what you guys say, but at home, life is way different from baseball.

I was born to hit a baseball. I can hit a baseball.

I'm not afraid to be lonely at the top.

I have a chef who makes sure that I'm getting the right amounts of carbs, proteins and fats throughout the day to keep me at my max performance level.

I don't know what my future is.

I like to be against the odds.

I'd like to help educate kids about the Major Leagues - what to anticipate, what to expect, what they'll need to do to prepare themselves.

Baseball is just my job.

Everyone in society should be a role model, not only for their own self-respect, but for respect from others.

Young players need to know how to take care of themselves for life after baseball.

My career is an open book, but my life is not.

I think everyone needs to be a role model, period.

It's called talent. I just have it. I can't explain it. You either have it or you don't.

But to be the best, you must face the best. And to overcome your fear, you must deal with the best.

I don't want to be a Major League coach.

It's not the name that makes the player. It's the player.

I never stop looking for things to try and make myself better.

There is nothing better than walking out and hitting a home run.

When I finish playing, I think I'd like to coach college baseball.

I think some of the pressure comes from the expectations of other people. Like if your father played baseball, they expect you to be the big lifesaver or something when you play a sport.

Every pitcher can beat you, it doesn't matter how good you are.

Those boos really motivate me to make something happen.

I could learn how to press 'Record' on a tape recorder and write for a newspaper or a magazine.

I want to be part of Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame, but I don't want to be part of the kind of Hall of Fame that's based on voters' beliefs and assumptions.

I'm a very private person. My life story isn't for everybody.

Making the Hall of Fame, would it be something that's gratifying because of what I've sacrificed? Sure. Baseball has been a big part of our lives. We've sacrificed our bodies. It's the way we made our living.

Yes, but don't forget I also have the luxury of the worlds finest band when it gets lonely.

For now, I'm just going to hang out with these two smoking hotties and fly privately around the world. It might be lonely up here, but I sure like the view.

When so many are lonely as seem to be lonely, it would be inexcusably selfish to be lonely alone.

Living the past is a dull and lonely business; looking back strains the neck muscles, causing you to bump into people not going your way.

I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky; and all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.

I'm never getting too lonely because it's the kind of disease where you might sit in front of the TV with three bags of biscuits, rather than communicate with the world.

I'm not afraid to be lonely at the top.

I've shut myself inside these walls, and I'm going to be a very lonely old lady if I'm not careful.

I've put in as many as 40 weeks a year on stage. It is lonely and restricted, as all artistic life must necessarily be.

Even cats grow lonely and anxious.

If I'm such a legend, then why am I so lonely? Let me tell you, legends are all very well if you've got somebody around who loves you.

Heath, I believed in him when I first met him, and helped and supported him. He went on to obvious success in the States and then I had him support me. It can be a lonely, horrible, hard place. It's great just to have someone to call to say 'I know, man, I was there'

At times in my life, I have been utterly lonely. At other times, I've had disgusting infectious diseases. Try admitting these things in our culture.

Yes, I guess you could say I am a loner, but I feel more lonely in a crowed room with boring people than I feel on my own.

You can be a little lonely because it's an individual sport.
