I hate to blow my own horn, but I gave a lot of people fits.

Whenever I wasn't watching the planes, I was playing community baseball, football, or something like that.

My favorite driver is always either the bad guy or the underdog.

I was a pitcher, shortstop and outfielder, and the Yankees tried to sign me out of high school as a first-round draft pick in 1981. I turned them down to go to college.

I hate to blow my own horn, but I gave a lot of people fits.

I have no problem with my hips - I can still do the things that I used to do. I can run, I'm just not the fastest person on the field anymore.

You have a lot of people on the run and really don't have time to sit down and eat a balanced meal.

In baseball, I was a pitcher, which I hated because there was no action there.

So, I got a lot of recruitment letters from track.

If I miss anything about the sport, it's the camaraderie of old teammates.

I also tell them that your education can take you way farther than a football, baseball, track, or basketball will - that's just the bottom line.

So you have to be more mentally focused in baseball.

I have been a fan all my life, but now I have been out of football for over 10 years, and out of baseball for a little over six years and I don't go to games.

As a 9th grader, I competed with the high school kids and out of 600 people, I finished 10th.

Back before I injured my hip, I thought going to the gym was for wimps.

I was always active - I went from baseball to football. I didn't have time to work out.

Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there.

I was the type of guy that used to get up in the morning and go out and just out run everybody on the field without stretching or warming up or anything.

I always wanted to be a pilot.

First of all, I really never imagined myself being a professional athlete.

Really, it's not harder to train for them because once baseball starts you play everyday almost.

I've taken up golf in the past five or six years, and most of the time there aren't too many people out there that can drive a ball further than I can.

Being the 8th out of 10 kids, and being the one that stayed in trouble, I sort of became a momma's boy.

I am a firm believer in if you can't get it the old fashioned way, you don't need it.

So, baseball is probably more physical of the two mentally.

I love going out and doing new things.

I would say my greatest achievement in life right now - my greatest achievement period is - and I'm still trying to achieve it - is to be a wonderful father to my kids.

My workout was running down fly balls, stealing a base, or running for my life on the football field.

It occurred to me in my junior year of high school. I got my first letter from a big college. I still have that letter to this day - a letter from Indiana.

I guarantee you that's what Jeff Gordon does. He uses everything the fans throw at him to stoke his fire and it drives him to be better at what he does.

I've always played with kids that were five, six, seven years older than me.

If you have four years to complete your college education, do it.

Don't sell yourself short because without that you can't go far in life because after sports the only thing you know is sports and you can't do anything else with that.

But now in this day and age, people are more prone to go out to try new things to enhance their performance on the field - to enhance their physical appearance.

Set your goals high, and don’t stop till you get there.

If I miss anything about the sport its the camaraderie of old teammates.

Football is easy if youre crazy as hell.

Set your goals high and dont stop till you get there.

I'll never worry about not being successful. I'll just take it one day at a time, one season at a time. And play as hard as I can.

Don't plan to repent at the 11th hour - you may die at 10:30.

If I miss anything about the sport, it's the camaraderie of teammates

I hate wasting people's time.

I hate failure and that divorce was a Number One failure in my eyes. It was the worst period of my life. Neither Desi nor I have been the same since, physically or mentally.

You either love or you hate. You live in the middle, you get nothing.

I used to smoke two packs a day and I just hate being a nonsmoker... but I will never consider myself a nonsmoker because I always find smokers the most interesting people at the table.

I hate the crazy, neurotic characters beyond a certain point.

I hate Stanley Clark, but I have to admit he's playing Jazz whether I like it or not.

In the past I've made movies that were pretty universally liked. You can't really hate them. You can discard them, but you can't really hate them.

In a war, you must hate somebody or love somebody; you must have a position or you cannot stand what goes on.
