Army life was rough. Would you believe it, they actually wanted me to pitch three times a week.

You would be amazed how many important outs you can get by working the count down to where the hitter is sure you're going to throw to his weakness, and then throw to his power instead.

Sooner or later the arm goes bad. It has to... Sooner or later you have to start pitching in pain.

You kind of took it for granted around the Yankees that there was always going to be baseball in October.

Hell, if I didn't drink drink or smoke, I'd win twenty games every year. It's easy when you don't drink or smoke or horse around.

The way to make coaches think you're in shape in the spring is to get a tan.

I know Koufax' weakness. He can't hit.

I never threw the spitter, well maybe once or twice when I really needed to get a guy out real bad.

I am proud of the fact that my wealth is completely transparent.

When he took time to help the man up the mountain lo he scaled it himself.

Don't let your mouth write a check that your tail can't cash.

Conversation like television set on honeymoon... unnecessary.

Women rule men's lives - every decision a man makes is based on a woman.

It is reassuring for people to feel they have a boss, someone who knows the answers and has charted the course.

Many people send me letters in England saying, 'I want to be a war photographer,' and I say, go out into the community that you live in.

My first novel, 'Leaving Atlanta,' took at look at my hometown in the late 1970s, when the city was terrorized by a serial murderer that left at least 29 African-American children dead.

To define the era we live in is very difficult. How do we define it? We define it by music.

By resisting almost any change aimed at improving our public schools, teachers' unions have become a ripe target for reformers across the ideological spectrum.

I'm pretty proud of having completed a marathon myself, so I can only imagine the pride that real athletes feel when they are picked for the Olympic or the Paralympic Games.

There is nothing like a good dose of another woman to make a man appreciate his wife.

I honestly love nothing better than digging into a really good serialized show, whether it's 'Breaking Bad' or 'Game of Thrones' or 'Justified.'

The other thing that has made playing live for me more enjoyable is the audience. I never knew I had such heartfelt, loving fans.

The world has gotten smaller and more accessible since I first started writing in the 70's.

I'm not some cute guy who is trying to be successful off that. I really want the music to come first.

Among many other reforms, Australians pioneered the secret ballot and universal suffrage.

Well what do you do with a character like Christine Cagney and you tell her she can't have things?

We're also passionate about music and very critical about the music that we listen to.

I went through a long period of time in that marriage when I didn't believe anything was my fault. I had to face what my part was, and only because of that difficult work was I able to trust a man again.

Theres this place in me where your fingerprints still rest your kisses still linger and your whispers softly echo. Its the place where a part of you will forever be a part of me

Stupidity fuses notoriety and celebrity.

If you really want to be a good archaeologist, you have to understand ancient DNA; you have to understand chemical analysis to figure out the composition of ancient pots.
