I know, but I had a better year than Hoover.

The harder you grip the bat, the more you can swing it through the ball, and the farther the ball will go.

I'll win more games playing everyday in the outfield than I will pitching every fourth day.

It's hard to beat a person who never gives up.

I've never heard a crowd boo a homer, but I've heard plenty of boos after a strikeout.

I like to live as big as I can.

You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime.

Striking out batters was easy.

I'd play for half my salary if I could hit in this dump all the time.

I'd give a year of my life if I could hit a homerun on opening day of this great new park.

You know how bad my voice sounds - well it feels just as bad.

You're an actor, are you? Well, all that means is: you are irresponsible, irrational, romantic, and incapable of handling an adult emotion or a universal concept without first reducing it to something personal, material, sensational - and probably sexual!

Watch my dust.

How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball.

You know this baseball game of ours comes up from the youth. That means the boys. And after you've been a boy, and grow up to know how to play ball, then you come to the boys you see representing themselves today in our national pastime.

Pitching just felt like the most natural thing in the world.

I have only one superstition... Touch all the bases when I hit a home run.

The way a team plays as a whole determines its success.

I know, but I had a better year than Hoover.

I hit big or I miss big.

To my sick little pal. I will try to knock you another homer, maybe two today.

The only real game - I think - in the world is baseball.

The man was such an intellectual he was of almost no use.

Even as a partisan Republican, I'm not sure a 40-year run is healthy for either party.

It never crossed my mind to be a director, and I'll tell you why: because I'm a woman. It just didn't occur to me, but I knew I had to be in film.

I often do crazy siren noises, or, like, a high-pitched dolphin, just to make sure that all my range is there. I make random noise and blurt out random sounds, to make sure I get rid of any bad nerves. I want to make sure to feel as confident as possible.

Well, growing up in the '90s, my first true love was ska music.

I'm kind of under the radar. Not a lot of people notice me. Which is surprising, because I'm so sexy. They're probably intimidated by my sexiness and crushability.

Love doesn't make the word go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

The mass gross absence of sound in space is more than just silence.

I'm a workaholic. I've been doing my job for a long time.

We ignore slow environmental changes unless they are crisis-driven, such as hurricanes in Florida.

Hispanic unemployment is higher than the national average and when the federal government is killing small businesses and killing jobs it is hurting the future of the Hispanic community and we need to carry that message.

I am not afraid of death, I just don't want to be there when it happens.

Since I became a knitting humor writer, I seem to be understood a little better - at least for the purposes of social discourse.

The most positive men are the most credulous.

I did some stupid things when I was younger, but I got a lot out of my system. Every time, my mom was waiting there with an 'I told you so.' Moms are usually right. You're wrong if you don't think that they've done what we're doing, because they have.

I was at a school in England, a prep school, from the ages of 8 and 13. And every play they did was a musical. Parents love musicals. And I don't sing. It was driving me crazy. 'We're doing 'Macbeth.' 'Yes!' 'The musical!' And I was always in the chorus, because of course, in all the main parts, you had to be able to sing.

If children are not introduced to music at an early age, I believe something fundamental is actually being taken from them.

We name time when we say: every thing has its time. This means: everything which actually is, every being comes and goes at the right time and remains for a time during the time allotted to it. Every thing has its time.

I see interracial couples all the time in Nashville. I'm a Jew in Nashville. I'm a gay person in Nashville. It's a non-issue in most of the time. That's a huge leap forward.

Since fame is an illusion and death is in our future all we have is the next moment before we are swallowed into oblivion.

How often do I call my mom? You can never call your mum enough, and I should call my mum more often. But I speak to my mum very regularly and have a close relationship with my parents.

The coolest part about 'God Made Girls' is you had all these different women writing it, so you had all these different perspectives in this song.

It's real time intensive so there's not much time for goofing around, but we are really close and we have a good time with each other. It's a great group.

It was never fun being in the Ramones, which is the saddest thing of all, cause it shoulda been fun. It was probably fun when we played Performance Studio, and maybe some of the early gigs at CBGB's. But the Ramones were the type of group that had a bizarre mindset. Being in the band was so cut off from reality.
