I's taken me a great deal to get here. I don't plan on missing anything.

We spent a lot of money on some players.

I don't have a no-trade clause. I figure someone is going to pick me up.

I might say something in Spanish; it all depends on how I'm feeling, what the situation is.

I'm not afraid to swing the bat. If they elect to pitch to me, I'm going to swing. I'm not as picky as Mr. Sheffield. I'll swing at something over my head.

We have to have great pitching performances from our guys, and we have to take it from there.

I had an opportunity with Baltimore to make it to the World Series, and that didn't happen.

For some reason in Spring Training, everything just clicked. You don't try to do anything in Spring Training but get ready, but things fell into place.

We've got a lot of pressure going. This is for my Latin counterpart.

This is what you work for, putting all the other crap that you hear aside. Just being able to participate in a World Series is pretty much everything. But you do want to win!

The ability to communicate with everybody, regardless of who are you are, is a great thing.

When somebody was looking in my locker, it was like going in my desk. Somebody happened to be looking in my locker when they shouldn't have been.

I'm pretty much the one that goes to the mound.

Bottom line is, you have to pitch. You want timely hits.

I's taken me a great deal to get here. I don't plan on missing anything.

Kids today are looking for idols, but sometimes they look too far ... They don't have to look any farther than their home because those are the people that love you. They are the real heroes.

I want to get better. Every time you lose, you learn from it, and after every win, you look to building on the tempo.

I think every time in your life is valuable, and you need to exist in that moment. Because if you don't - you lose it.

When the trust between the police and the communities they serve breaks down, everyone is at risk.

People look at me and look, but I do not care.

Raymond Chandler managed to write about L.A. his whole career. Should I keep going writing about New York? Is that what I should be doing? Songwriting doesn't work that way.

I make a lot more off the trades and Image than Marvel.

I confess that Roy was a little bit dictatorial in his editing and he ruined quite a number of my pictures, which he stopped doing later. He used to punch a hole through a negative. Some of them were incredibly valuable. He didn't understand at the time.

I'm not big with negotiating.

I consider myself a progressive. I have a passion for people who work. To me, this is about forward looking versus backward looking. Ideological gradations are the wrong way to look at it.

Our attitude towards others determines their attitude towards us.

If someone really wanted to end Medicare, they wouldn't propose a reform: they would do nothing.

When I went to college, I went to a junior college. I wanted to go to the University of Alabama but had to go to junior college first to get my GPA up. I did a half-year of junior college, then dropped out and had my daughter. College was always an opportunity to go back. But she, my daughter, was my support. I gave up everything for her.

I'm a laid-back guy. I like being outdoors. I enjoy hanging out.

Labels are distancing phenomena. They push us away from each other.

We came to say, the Quran is our constitution, we are committed to God and his holy book. God willing, should they try to carry out their crime against the Quran, God will tear their state apart and they will become God's lesson to anyone who tries to desecrate the holy book.

Of course, I follow Bollywood. In fact, it's widely followed in Brazil.

Let go of the delusion that you DESERVE better and go EARN it! Today is a new day!

All of journalism is a shrinking art. So much of it is hype. The O.J. Simpson story is a landmark in the decline of journalism.

I don't mind the rich getting richer, but the poor shouldn't be getting poorer, and there should be more people moving into the middle class.

In all my travels I never met with any one Scotchman but what was a man of sense: I believe everybody of that country that has any, leaves it as fast as they can.
