I never did say that you can't be a nice guy and win. I said that if I was playing third base and my mother rounded third with the winning run, I'd trip her up.

Baseball is like church. Many attend few understand.

How you play the game is for college ball. When you're playing for money, winning is the only thing that matters.

Winning is a habit.

I come to win.

Give me some scratching, diving, hungry ballplayers who come to kill you.

Buy a steak for a player on another club after the game, but don't even speak to him on the field. Get out there and beat them to death.

Nobody ever won a pennant without a star shortstop.

Show me a good loser and I'll show you an idiot.

Win any way you can as long as you can get away with it.

You can't get any pictures from way back there.

In the olden days, the umpire didn't have to take any courses in mind reading. The pitcher told you he was going to throw at you.

I never questioned the integrity of an umpire. Their eyesight, yes.

I believe in rules. Sure I do. If there weren't any rules, how could you break them?

Some guys are admired for coming to play, as the saying goes. I prefer those who come to kill.

Nice guys finish last.

What are we out at the park for, except to win?

I made a game effort to argue but two things were against me: the umpires and the rules.

You don't save a pitcher for tomorrow. Tomorrow it may rain.

I never did say that you can't be a nice guy and win. I said that if I was playing third base and my mother rounded third with the winning run, I'd trip her up.

You argue with the umpire because there is nothing else you can do about it.

There are only five things you can do in baseball - run, throw, catch, hit and hit with power.

If you don't win, you're going to be fired. If you do win, you've only put off the day you're going to be fired.

God watches over drunks and third baseman.

As long as I've got a chance to beat you I'm going to take it.

Being a publicist is like management in a lot of ways - you're their friend, you're their mother, you're their confidante.

My mother keeps things in perspective for me. She makes me realize that the acting I do and love is no more important than what one of my brothers does-he works in a shoe repair shop. If my career ever tapers off, I'll go to college.

Bambi has a profound effect on children because it's about losing your mother.

For those whose wit becomes the mother of villainy, those it educates to be evil in all things.

I never turned down a mother role.

I'd like to one day play Amanda, the mother, in The Glass Menagerie.

My mother is Irish, my father is black and Venezuelan, and me - I'm tan, I guess.

I loved my mother, she's a good girl.

A man is free to go up as high as he can reach up to; but I, with all my style and pep, can't get a man my equal because a girl is always judged by her mother.

Just as a mother finds pleasure in taking her little child on her lap, there to feed and caress him, in like manner our loving God shows His fondness for His beloved souls who have given themselves entirely to Him and have placed all their hope in His goodness.

Well ironically my last three roles have all been a mother. One was a Canadian film where the baby was taken away because she is a drug addict, in Irish Jam I play a mother to a four year old. I think in the future I'll be able to handle the role with a lot more depth.

Most turkeys taste better the day after, my mother's tasted better the day before.

During my grief, I realised there was nothing I could do for my mother, but I did have a child.

That's so different in Hong Kong when I'm using my own mother language, I can treat the line in one thousand different ways, with many different reactions.

I am scared of becoming a mother.

My mother liked Jim Reeves. I hated his records. He was unbearable.

The eyebrow pencil and false eyelashes were essential; my mother didn't feel dressed without them.

When I was 13 I asked my mother if it was possible for this to end - I'd had enough of it. And that was right about the time that we got a call for "The Exorcist" interview.

Middle age is the awkward period when Father Time starts catching up with Mother Nature.

I think it's time to do clean-up for a generation. I believe this is one of the movies that hits home for all colors and all races. Everybody I talk to, black or white, suburban, rich or poor, can relate to rejection, can relate to not having a father or a mother.

Write verse, not poetry. The public wants verse. If you have a talent for poetry, then don't by any means mother it, but try your hand at verse.

She is descended from a long line that her mother listened to.

When my mother died, I had to go on air that night and do jokes.

As I have discovered by examining my past, I started out as a child. Coincidentally, so did my brother. My mother did not put all her eggs in one basket, so to speak: she gave me a younger brother named Russell, who taught me what was meant by "survival of the fittest."
