I like playing for Oakland, they have a very colorful uniform.

Lou Brock was a great base stealer but today I am the greatest.

I don't want to be one of those great players who never made it to the Series.

You have to keep running. I always believed I was going to be safe.

If my uniform doesn't get dirty, I haven't done anything in the baseball game.

Even the slowest guy can go from first to third and help win a ballgame.

I did so many things that made me a threat.

I don't think I ever got proper credit about being smart about the game.

I have to play baseball to make me happy. I have to be an athlete. But when it's all said and done, I'll be a normal father. A normal-type house man.

I love playing this game and every spring training feels like the first.

I love the game and I wanted to continue playing. It came to a time that I had to stop.

I wanted to be a part of something special and contributing to the launch of a new league was very exciting to me.

I'm a Hall of Famer and I'm still fighting for it because I love the game and I love to play.

I'm disappointed about how my career ended.

Just because I believed in what I was doing on the field and dedicated myself to playing the game, does that mean I'm cocky? Does that mean I'm arrogant?

My dream was to play football for the Oakland Raiders. But my mother thought I would get hurt playing football, so she chose baseball for me. I guess moms do know best.

My impact on the game was going out there and making things happen.

My journey as a player is complete.

Once you can accept failure, you can have fun and success.

People say I stole a lot of bases. I stole the bases for a reason. I crossed the plate.

Rickey don't like it when Rickey can't find Rickey's limo.

Rickey got a big ranch. Rickey got a big bull. Rickey got horses. Rickey got chickens and everything. And Rickey got a 20-gallon hat.

Somehow, I've been blessed to be able to have the young spirit inside - not feel like every year I get a year older. I feel like every year I get a year younger. I don't wake up in the morning with aches and pains.

The only name on my birth certificate was Henley, no first name.

To all the kids out there: Follow your dream. Believe in your dream. Because dreams do come true.

To me the most important thing was stirring things up and scoring some runs so we could win a ballgame.

When you're a kid, you want to be a millionaire.

You never had the opportunity to play with some of the great ballplayers, but being that close around them, and being in the same category, was a great feeling, to feel that vibe of all the best players who played the game.

I'm not a typical public school boy.

One old friend is better than two new ones.

If I'd just been interested in record sales, I would have taken one of the deals I was offered after 'Soapstar Superstar,' made a quick covers album and probably had some success for five minutes. I decided that wasn't for me.

There are two perspectives on the oil sands. You have companies that want to make it the next Saudi Arabia. The other is that it's a transitional resource to a low-carbon economy, and to regard it as anything else is to drain the continent's financial resources.

When someone asks about a career in fashion, I say start at the bottom. If you want to start a business, you have to know it from the ground up.

If you lost it, it's because you're meant to find something better. Trust, let go, and make room for what's coming.

When I make a film, I'm not doing it purely for political reasons. If I just wanted to do that, I'd run for office.

I trust how much my ball moves. I can throw it at you or this far off the plate and have it end up on the black. That's where I kind of went to the next level. I knew what all my pitches were doing. Even in '14, I didn't have that ability.

Shale gas, if left to flourish, could create several hundred thousand more jobs.

In today's U.S., it's possible for almost anyone - women, gays, African-Americans, Jews - to run for, and be elected to, high office.

Over the course of television's history, I think fans have done more to save shows and support them than ruin them.

I don't really approach a character as to whether or not it's good or bad. I just approach a character as to where it lives in me.

Hey, look at this guy Kenny G. with his thing, walking up and down the aisles of the concert hall and running off the stage and playing the same time. It's old hat!

The loss of a friend is like that of a limb; time may heal the anguish of the wound, but the loss cannot be repaired.

I think a failed state is the responsibility of the people who have made that state fail, and those are generally the people of that country.

Of all the properties which belong to honorable men, not one is so highly prized as that of character.

Pregnancy is like the beginning of all things; wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.

I think I do too many voices in these shows. I think it's because we have trouble getting voice talent.

I like kids but I also like the option to close the door. Becoming a parent is a whole other life, and it doesn't stop.

My wife was afraid of the dark... then she saw me naked and now she's afraid of the light.
