I was nervous batting eighth, and I was nervous batting seventh.

Whatever I can do to win, I'll do it, even if I have to get hit by a pitch, whatever it takes.

I feel I let my team down today. My heart is bleeding for everybody else. I felt like I should have gotten it done today. That's how it is. Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't.

I was nervous batting eighth, and I was nervous batting seventh.

I know about having days off. They can be helpful sometimes, especially late in the year. It's just key to go out there and establish early, especially in this park where they can put up some crooked numbers early.

Win or lose, I've been fortunate to be able to pitch deep enough into games to get decisions.

As far as the anxiety, I have no idea about it. I don't feel like I have any nervousness out there. I'm just a guy who really cares about being competitive and that's the bottom line.

I just want to say I owe the whole reds organization a great deal. Great staff top to bottom and I wish those guys all the best.

I love what I do. I'm appreciative and I'm still competitive. I still love baseball, but it doesn't consume me. If I can't do it anymore, then I go home and do something else. It's not the end of the world. It's just the end of your career.

I want to be a traveling circus in that big-league uniform, like everybody else.

I'm not a conventional guy. I've never been a conventional guy.

It's not about the money for me.

The sun shines on everybody. You've got to keep believing.

If you think the products don't match what you want from a product, don't buy it.

'Hairspray' has never been irrelevant, which is, in some ways, heartbreaking.

And I wasn't a journalist any more than I was a trained nurse.

Tolerance it a tremendous virtue, but the immediate neighbors of tolerance are apathy and weakness.

You know it's very important, the role of a mother... I don't know, but it's feminism to me to love your kids.

This is a world in which reasons are made up because reality is too painful.

Many people with dyslexia truly suffer, and their lives are worse off for having had that disability.

My main commitment is to Caudwell Children. I put more than £1m a year into the charity, besides a lot of time and effort.

I do always feel very proud and flattered by being asked to be a part of American productions playing American characters.

Learning lines is my biggest challenge.

A dinosaur out of context is like a character without a story. Worse than that the character suffers from amnesia.

I think essentially the meaning of life is probably the journey and not really any one thing or an outcome or a result. I think it's kinda the process and I think that if you can find happiness in the process then maybe that's it.

Rosewood has always been one of my favourite scents, as has the pink grapefruit and pepper we've also put in Homme.

I'd rather shut myself in a room for six months than act in a bad movie.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks and then starting on the first one.

The future is going to be boring. The suburbanisation of the planet will continue, and the suburbanisation of the soul will follow soon after.

From the very beginning, I started doing music performances with a lot of theatrical aspects to them, where humor was a part of it but not necessarily had to be. Humor is just another tool to make the palette more rich and interesting for myself and eventually for the public. It's a great way to break out of convention.

I'm 6'3'' and 185 pounds on a good day, so I probably relate more to the casual fan who watches the game and is not super athletic, not this crazy monster of physical stature.

Geometry is the archetype of the beauty of the world.

Time can be dissected easily: an hour can be cut up in many ways. Fifteen minutes on this memo, a five-minute walk to another meeting, 30 minutes at that meeting and then 10 minutes debriefing. Oh, and maybe a quick phone call on the walk to that meeting. The busy are expert at dissection: that's how they make it all fit.

I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games; 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

Shadows fall on even the brightest hours.

I was raised a Christian, but I wouldn't call myself a Christian now. I think when I was younger it was easier to focus on the negative, nihilist vision... this is sort of picking up on the other half of the body, which is God and white light.

My main reason for leaving WWE was to heal up my body - to give it a rest - and to spend time with my wife and my kids.
