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

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.

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

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.

Any man who has had the job I've had and didn't have a sense of humor wouldn't still be here.

We may be floating on Tao but there is nothing wrong with steering. If Tao is like a river it is certainly good to know where the rocks are.

My parents were very, very strict parents, and they were not used to this new, you know, American custom of letting your children sleep in someone else's house.

I think America has dealt with - I mean, this is simplistic, and of course I don't live in America - but the impression I get is that there is not a kind of obligation to dislike those who are better off or be frightened of those who are worse off.

There is nothing we cannot live down rise above and overcome.

Acorns were good until bread was found.

There is no such thing as "righteous" anger or justifiable killing.

Planning ahead is a measure of class. The rich and even the middle class plan for future generations, but the poor can plan ahead only a few weeks or days.

I just have a gut feeling about something if I really want to do it if Im excited about it if I want to explore it. And that goes across all different sorts of genres.

I've written the best work I know how. And I'm appreciative of the people who read it and care about the work - and that's pretty much the end of that.

Rock stars get room keys, I get business cards.

Globalization is a fact of economic life.

I'm not used to interviews. People don't generally interview waitresses.

Friends are like Peanut Butter ... it sticks to the roof of your mouth like a friend sticks to you.... and it feels as if they never go away.

I was recently looking at what they can actually do to reduce consumption of petrol. It would be quite possible to build automobiles out of carbon fibre that would be just as strong, weigh 10 times less and consume 10 times less petrol.

Whether it's a computer or a pen drawing, design is about drawing shapes and making physical things.

I'm a Utilitarian, so I don't see the rule against lying as absolute; it's always subject to some overriding utility which may prevent its exercise.

Fear itself is a creation of your mind. It does not exist independently. Since it is a fabrication, you don’t have to fight it. Just understand it. Understanding is the key to freedom.

The sexism in Hollywood is not particularly overt - because the system is good at hiding it.

Any successful entrepreneur knows that time is more valuable than money itself.

I could feel my anger dissipating as the miles went by–you can’t run and stay mad!

But freedom, liberty, is an attribute of the soul and it may exist even when the body is in bondage.

Im not a risk taker. I dont do plunging necklines or really short skirts. I try to stay as classy as possible and provide a little mystery.

The same way you can see me sit at a table in a movie and be six different people, the mother and the uncle and all these different things, when I'm in the studio, I can do that, too. I'm not trying to be a recording artist and have a certain type of music for the radio.
