I faced Gibson many times and faced Sandy Koufax three times.

When he hit a ground ball to you, you knew you had to make a good throw because he was going to be running.

But when I stopped facing Sandy, I had to face Don Drysdale. No one on my team wanted to face him.

The only way you preserve pitching arms is throwing; that makes the arm stronger.

We used to look at Felipe as our guiding man that we listened to.

If you are used to going five innings and then go six or seven, you won't have your good stuff. They need to start that from the minor leagues and give pitchers strong arms.

We are all so close. We are godfather to each others' kids. I was the best man at Jesus' wedding.

You had to pitch in and out. The zone didn't belong to the hitters; it belonged to the pitchers. Today, if you pitch too far inside, the umpire would stop you right there. I don't think it's fair.

I faced Gibson many times and faced Sandy Koufax three times.

Those days were very tough. All my teammates are white, and it was a different time. I couldn't go out to eat with the white players; I had to wait until someone brought something out to the bus. We couldn't stay in the same hotels.

My manager said it would more effective against left-handed hitters. It seemed to me that was impossible to do without the high leg kick, which I started that day.

There is no way to have a strong arm if you don't throw enough.

For me, filmmaking is not exactly a career. I was never in it for Hollywood or anything. My films are markers of where I am in life, where I am in my head. So that's what I'm working on, and I try to keep things in proportion - life and filmmaking. One feeds into the other.

I'm a happy guy.

Being home secretary involves having to face some of the worst of human behaviour and challenges of modern society.

Even though the weight I'm lifting isn't what it was when I was playing, it's not like I'm not lifting weights that are heavier than the common person would lift. I think a lot of people look at that and say, 'Whoa!'

I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.

I thought the more famous I became, the more friendships I would have, but the opposite was true.

The great moral powers of the soul are faith, hope, and love.

Believe it or not, I say my prayers in the morning and in the evening.

When I was singing Jamie's Cryin', people were going out of their mind because it was the first time they got to see Eddie, Michael and Alex play those songs. That was a thrill.

I'd say it's been my biggest problem all my life... it's money. It takes a lot of money to make these dreams come true.

It's the playoffs. You find a way to get through.

You cheat yourself when you don't do what it is you're supposed to do. You have an obligation to learn everything that you can.

Romeo Must Die came at the right time. It was the right vehicle for me.

You see young people, or kids, and they're fascinated by the way people talk. And that's great. But eventually you get to the point where you think, 'You know what? I don't care how you talk, I'm just listening to what you're saying.'

Nature is neutral.

I had people sleeping in front of my home. I couldn't go anywhere. It confronted me from the moment I woke up. There would be 100 people at the lot where we shot 'The Partridge Family.'

No country in the history of the world has ever contributed more to humankind and accomplished more for its people in so brief a period of time as Israel has done since its relatively recent rebirth in 1948.

Both my parents were actors. I was schooled to think that acting was an important social service, that it was something that human beings need.

I chose my wife, as she did her wedding gown, for qualities that would wear well.

The courage of a soldier is heightened by his knowledge of his profession.

I don't think there's more than half-a-dozen cartoons that I've been really truly happy with in all the time I've been doing it.

This over consumption is also manifest in our use of raw materials. It can even be found in our dietary habits... . People are well aware of this. The root of the problem lies in a selfish world view which inflates personal consumption beyond the essential.

I can cook because my life depended on it when I lived in Thailand. Either I learnt cooking, or I learnt how it felt to starve. I chose cooking.

Coming out of Dallas and doing commercial work in Dallas - if you had improv background in Dallas, then you were instantly shot to the top of the list of commercial bookings because they loved improvisers because you could elevate the material.
