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

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.

I was a late bloomer.

Music is an art that goes well beyond science. Proof can be found in the huge amount of studies that have been carried out throughout the world based on music-therapy and the important results achieved.

Electricity is an example of a general purpose technology, like the steam engine before it. General purpose technologies drive most economic growth, because they unleash cascades of complementary innovations, like lightbulbs and, yes, factory redesign.

Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.

As an actor, there is always an opportunity to learn from the other actors you work with.

All we can do is win our games.

I miss aspects of being in the Arab world - the language - and there is a tranquility in these cities with great rivers. Whether it's Cairo or Baghdad, you sit there and you think, 'This river has flown here for thousands of years.' There are magical moments in these places.

Great guitar players are a dime a dozen. It is sometimes your very limitations as players that set you apart from the crowd.

Ordinary morality is only for ordinary people.

There might be a proper age to know how to tell a story, but there's no proper age to start telling them.

The Kollection is a complete mix of Kim, Khloe and I - each of our individual styles are reflected, and that has been the way we have always designed. We are constantly emailing each other with ideas - three minds are better than one sometimes.

If the past has been an obstacle and a burden, knowledge of the past is the safest and the surest emancipation.

I've been to Sundance eight times as a publicist and thought I was very prepared. I mean, who could've been more prepared for me? A publicist who's been there eight times. Getting there as a filmmaker was a completely surreal, different, unexpected experience.

I never made up any investor. I never made up Paul Abrams.

It's nice to know when you're a part of a story, it's nice to know at least something about the beginning, middle, and end.

I believe in love at first sight for houses - but not for people.

I thought I knew a lot about music. Then you start digging and the deeper you go, the more there is.

As an attorney, I could be rather flamboyant in court. I did not act as though I were a black man in a white man's court, but as if everyone else - white and black - was a guest in my court. When trying a case, I often made sweeping gestures and used high-flown language.

The art of leadership is saying no, not saying yes. It is very easy to say yes.

We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.

For me to be pompous is the most horrible thing in the world. It's like putting a wall around you. It screws you up. You'd better be willing to change your views or adapt and be modern.

I can remember that on the shelves at home, there were these books by Thomas Wolfe. 'Look Homeward Angel' and 'Of Time and the River.' 'Of Time and the River' had just come out when I was aware of his name. My parents had a hard time convincing me that he was no kin whatsoever. My attitude was, 'Well, what's he doing on the shelf, then?'

Tonya Verbeek is a rival of mine I always come up against in the semis or the final of the Olympics. We have been fighting each other for a long time, so she knew my wrestling, and I knew hers... I was thinking that the only thing I could do was somehow to deceive her, anticipate her and get in my tackles.

Anonymous comments? You're not in the arena, man. If you can't say it to me in person in front of my kids, don't say it.
