The way we're going... if I called up another pitcher, he'd just hang up the phone on me.

No, I don't think my presence will cause an increase in black attendance at Cleveland.

If the guys on the bench were as good as the guys you have out there, they'd be out there in first place.

I always tried to do the best. I knew I couldn't always be the best, but I tried to be.

The fan is the one who suffers. He cheers a guy to a .350 season then watches that player sign with another team. When you destroy fan loyalties, you destroy everything.

I know a lot of people on the field - players, coaches, managers - are glad that I'm gone.

I haven't seen a player in this game, as long as I've been in it, that can't be pitched to... Barry is an outstanding ballplayer. I respect him an awful lot. I also have confidence in my pitchers that they can pitch to Barry Bonds and get him out.

Pitchers did me a favor when they knocked me down. It made me more determined. I wouldn't let that pitcher get me out. They say you can't hit if you're on your back, but I didn't hit on my back. I got up.

Close don't count in baseball. Close only counts in horseshoes and grenades.

But I'm not going to walk Barry Bonds, like some teams do, in the first inning with nobody on.

Managers don't have as much leverage as they used to have. We can't really be the boss.

All in all, I wouldn't call it a bad outing. It was a short outing.

At least when it's in French, I won't know what the heck they're saying.

You have to have a short memory as a closer.

If he can hit, he can hit. I don't care if he came from Class Z league.

It's nice to come into a town and be referred to as the manager of the Cleveland Indians instead of as the first black manager.

No. 1, these guys out here on this field. They keep my energy level up. They try hard, they don't complain about things - and I'd just like to be with them when things are good, and hopefully we can win a pennant together.

I just didn't have anything to say, so I said nothing.

The way we're going... if I called up another pitcher, he'd just hang up the phone on me.

People come out to see the players. When do you see a manager anyway? When he's out on the field arguing with the umpires, making a fool of himself and you know you can't win, and when he brings out the line-up card.

Many people believe that they are attracted by God, or by Nature, when they are only repelled by man.

I was so passionate about wanting the role in 'Like Crazy,' I filmed myself in the shower because that's where one of the scenes was set. It just felt instinctive. It was a close up! It would have been strange if I'd sent off a wide shot of myself. That's not the kind of work I want to do!

My office doubles as a karaoke den for the neighborhood. There are strobe lights and Rock Band plastic guitars, a disco ball and a fog machine and some other things. I have a really long work day, and you might find me doing karaoke by myself late at night.

These are the stories the Dogs tell, when the fires burn high and the wind is from the north.

The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart.

I cant isnt a reason to give up its a reason to try harder.

When I first moved to Los Angeles, I had a really bad run. I would sleep in my car during the day outside the Disney building in Burbank, and that's where I got my first job, which is really weird. I liked to stay around the studios and kind of get the good vibes going.

What's really sad is that a lot of very talented people are being forced to do things that are very embarrassing and I don't intend to be one of them.

Comedy's really subjective, you know; that's why it's so hard.

I'm envious of actors. You shoot a movie or you do a season of 'Big Love,' and then you're on hiatus and you have a bunch of free time.

Piety requires us to honor truth above our friends.

I've left Boro in the Premiership, which was always what I wanted to do. Actually that's not quite true. I took them to three cup finals, where they'd never been before. But I had set my eyes on being the first manager in their history to deliver a major trophy.

In America you can be Donald Trump, have a business go wrong, and file for Chapter 11. You can move on, and no one complains. When his casinos were in Chapter 11, he was still on TV telling people how to get rich. I had to persevere for years with easyInternet because I couldn't afford to hurt the brand.

My films are never about what Hong Kong is like, or anything approaching a realistic portrait, but what I think about Hong Kong and what I want it to be.

It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place.

In my case, self-absorption is completely justified. I have never discovered any other subject quite so worthy of my attention.

I attract a different kind of boy when my hair's red. I get more quality men - like a more thoughtful, nerdy dude.

The depth and the willingness with which we serve is a direct reflection of our gratitude.

I'm a big cockeyed optimist. I try to accentuate the positive as opposed to the negative.

The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.

By the late 1980s people realized that houses did not always appreciate and that they could fluctuate like any other market commodity.

People are always thinking that I'm the main character in my books, but each one has been different, and sometimes they've been men.

Now, given the experience that we have had thus far, with our subsequent trade agreements with NAFTA and others, you would think that with our experience of job loss that we have had there that when you find yourself in a hole that you might stop digging.

Pity the poor millionaire. He'll never know the thrill of paying that final installment.
