That's me, I'm emotional.

I blame myself more so because I hung a curve. If you want to point a finger, point it at me.

We had a pretty good lead, so why push it.

To pitch a perfect game wearing pinstripes at Yankee Stadium, it's unbelievable. Growing up a Yankee fan, to come out here and make history, it really is a dream come true.

I'm not making any excuses. I got my butt kicked in certain games.

I drank beer, and I had a career year.

I like the ball in a big game. I'm not afraid to take it.

If you are going to point a finger, you point it at me.

I would have liked the old days.

That's me, I'm emotional.

I'm feeling pretty good right now, but I hope we can just win the whole thing and I can run off into the sunset and say good-bye.

The money is great, no way am I complaining.

I'm not going to make any excuses. I just went out and stunk it up tonight.

In my whole career, I've never seen this type of race that you had to wait for the last day. There's so many teams that are involved. You've got to smile because we're in it.

I'm not even close to those guys, but I don't think anyone loves the game more than me.

The game has changed. What's going on now is nonsense. You have guys complaining about not being paid.

There are guys in the game only because of steroids. They couldn't make it with their natural talent, so they had to enhance themselves. It sucks.

I'm not going to sit here and bash the manager, we have to regroup.

We live in a day when it is very easy to make converts very hard to make disciples.

Employees are your most valuable assets. They are the heart and guts of a company. This doesn't mean that from time to time, you aren't going to do what is good for the company.

It's a good thing I was born in this century, when superfluous television seems to be part of the economy.

Even through your hardest days, remember we are all made of stardust.

I love going to conventions, and I love spending time with the fans and going to parts of the world where I wouldn't normally go.

The university is in danger of losing its monopoly, and for good reason. The most visible threat are the new online courses, many of them free, with some of the best professors in their respective fields.

I would never want to move to L.A.

Always drink your whiskey with your gun hand to show your friendly intentions.

And I'd watch George C. Scott from backstage. He was one of my mentors.

I've always had a philosophy that position doesn't define power. Impact defines power. What impact are you making on people? What impact are you making on business?

My grandmother taught me how to read, very early, but she taught me to read just the way she taught herself how to read - she read words rather than syllables. And as a result of that, when I entered school, it took me a long time to learn how to write.

Children are sent to school to be civilized, to learn to be part of the social enterprise.

Highlight reels are about that one person. After a barrage of highlight reels, you get the sense that you can do it without a team. But music thrived the most when groups were involved. People lose sight of that - that community makes the world run.

The bow cannot always stand bent, nor can human frailty subsist without some lawful recreation.

I always serve the writer first because I'm English trained, even though I'm American.

Being young isn't about age, it's about being a free spirit. You can meet someone of 20 who's boring and old, or you can meet someone of 70 who's youthful and exciting. I met Fred Astaire when he was 72 and I was 21, and I fell in love with him. He certainly was a free spirit.

I got into writing because books and stories were always a big part of my life. I loved listening to them and then reading them, and I loved making them up.

God is waiting for us, to forgive us all, and what is broken, he'll fix.

Understand this law and you will then know, beyond room for the slightest doubt, that you are constantly punishing yourself for every wrong you commit and rewarding yourself for every act of constructive conduct in which you indulge.

It is very difficult to be taken seriously when you're introduced at a party to somebody as the fourth Mrs. Rex Harrison.

Theater in Chicago will always be my first love. It started careers for me and about 50 of my friends. We all love coming back. As soon as the TV show is over, I'll be back in Chicago, doing live theater.

I would not go so far as to say that the French trade unions attached greater importance to the struggle for peace than the others did; but they certainly seemed to take it more to heart.

I dislike the word self help. Self awareness, yes, but not self help.

I can't make a movie unless I believe in the themes behind it. I mean, that's the first question I ask myself, always, is, 'What is this movie about?'

Authentic power is the real deal. You can't inherit it, buy it, or win it. You also can't lose it. You don't need to build your body, reputation, wealth, or charisma to get it.
