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

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.

At Pixar, we do a million versions of the movie, and every one of them goes through their awkward teenage phase where it's terrible and doesn't make sense, and we just keep working on it.

Trayvon Martin did not need to die.

Childrens talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.

Grudges are like hand grenades it is wise to release them before they destroy you.

Silence is the language of God, all else is poor translation.

Is there a sharper commentary on American culture and the world than The Simpsons?

When the conscious mind expands to embrace deeper levels of thinking, the thought wave becomes more powerful and results in added energy and intelligence.

A lot of the films now are more focused on the visuals than on the actors. I think all directors should go to drama school.

In America, people rarely stay in the town where they grew up, rarely stay in close proximity to their parents throughout their lives. You rarely find parents in their old age being taken care of by their children.

Auditioning is the most terrifying thing I've ever done. There must have been four or five of them where I completely froze up and walked out of the room. My palms get sweaty just thinking about it.

Just because two people look the same, doesn't mean they have the same dreams.

The goal is to try and make the perfect song. Which of course will never happen.

No one is born a good citizen no nation is born a democracy. Rather both are processes that continue to evolve over a lifetime. Young people must be included from birth. A society that cuts off from its youth severs its lifeline.

There are a lot of weenie American actors, and a lot of foreign actors are having the luck.

I am a lover. And with my kids I am even softer. I realize with my son, I have to sometimes be tough, especially now when he's pushing boundaries. With my daughter, I can get a little stern with her and she pretty much will listen.

My whole plan in my head has always been, if I go a year without acting, it's time to go home; it's time to go back to Montreal.

Experimental high energy physics research is a group effort. I have been very fortunate to have had outstanding students and colleagues who have made invaluable contributions to the research with which I have been associated.

Yes, I did feel a special responsibility to be the first American woman in space.

Always remember... Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.

Most Alzheimer's sufferers aren't diagnosed until their 70s. However, we now know that their brains began deteriorating long before that.

Everybody has an opportunity in America. I don't care if guys whine and complain about this or that. You know, no country affords its inhabitants the opportunities that the U.S.A. gives to its people.

And we had a DJ - my childhood friend from Chicago came to be the DJ at our party out in LA. It was a party, rockin' and rolling, and it was dancing and fun. For me it was different; just to have family with us.

The thing about comedy is it gives you a platform to expose your own shortcomings, so it becomes a public display of weirdness.

Most writers, by the time they're 60, must have revisited their childhood a dozen times.
