I look forward to another good year next year. It would be nice to win, too.

I would love to try to win another game. Obviously, it's more fun when you win. I'd rather try and not win than not try at all.

If they want me I'd love to come back. I'm not going to play because I can, I'm going to play because I deserve it.

I don't believe for one second that the eye surgery has helped me on the mound.

I was under the impression I had signed a three-year contract. I want to be back. I expect to be back. I will be back.

The dirt was OK, but once you hit the grass... Wet grass is slippery.

I don't care if we're out of it or not, if I've got a chance to pitch, I want to.

The reason I think I'm a good pitcher is I locate my fastball and I change speeds. Period. That's what you do to pitch. That's what pitchers have to do to win games.

I daydream just like everybody else. I just do it with my body facing the field, so everybody thinks I'm paying attention.

I know I don't throw very hard anymore, but I'd like to think I can still hurt a guy who's not looking.

I only know one way to pitch. I really do.

I take golf trips with my brother or with friends. We usually go to Pebble or Bandon Dunes. One year we went to Hawaii.

Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, you ought to set up a life you don't need to escape from.

All my collections are very personal. It's also because I'm so involved in making the collections.

There are still Negro elites. Many of them are obviously much richer, and perhaps a little more integrated into what remains a white power structure. But those old rituals from the social clubs, to the broadly segregated white and black schools, to an obsessive interest in ancestry, all of that does still exist. Look: we are a class-bound society.

I need to live a long time to fulfil all the things I want to do.

Some people look for a beautiful place, Other makes place beautiful.

Every breath of air we take is coming from the ocean.

I'm from an island, so I've always been near the water. I don't think I could live somewhere far from the sea.

Any director or writer or artist has the right to do what they want to do - freedom of expression is something I celebrate.

I have nothing against undertakers personally. It's just that I wouldn't want one to bury my sister.

The Trade Center itself held - and holds - a special place, I think, in the hearts and minds of people in law enforcement - the fact that it did not fall in 1993. Ramzi Yousef's goal was to topple the Twin Towers into each other so that more people died than had died at Hiroshima.

There will be no justice as long as man will stand with a knife or with a gun and destroy those who are weaker than he is.

In the NUDE, all that is not beautiful is obscene.

Oh my God, I think I purchased some Jimmy Choos, and they hurt like crazy. That's when I realized that fashion truly isn't about comfort; it's about looking good.

Any institution becomes a community - whether it's a high school or a boarding school or a publishing company or a small town where everybody knows certain things about people.

In between saying something and achieving it, there is some pothole to fill; that’s “doing it”. Goals are pursued with the word “GO” and visions with the word “VENTURE”.

There's something very satisfying about creating a tactile product.

Books are my weakness.

Sadly, e-mail has triggered the decline of the handwritten note; I have seen its near-disappearance in my lifetime.

Every era of renaissance has come out of new freedoms for peoples. The coming renaissance will be greater than any in human history, for this time all the peoples of the earth will share in it.

If you have some potatoes, green beans and cauliflower, you have a heck of a dish that can feed an entire family.

Poker is a skill game pretending to be a chance game.

My priority is to hang out with the ones I love - my family, my loved ones.

There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq and there are patriots who supported the war in Iraq. We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America.

Blues and soul and jazz music has so much pain, so much beauty of raw emotion and passion.
