My confidence and drive to go play came when I realized how gifted I was at such a young age and how much bigger my build was than the kids my age.

I was always active - I went from baseball to football. I didn't have time to work out.

I'm the type of person, I cross the bridges once I get to 'em. I don't try to plan my life three, four months in advance, because you don't know if tomorrow's promised to you.

Don't plan to repent at the 11th hour - you may die at 10:30.

I would say my greatest achievement in life right now - my greatest achievement period is - and I'm still trying to achieve it - is to be a wonderful father to my kids.

Well, back when I was training, probably the only nutritious thing on the market was Gatorade - that's all that we knew.

I was a pitcher, shortstop and outfielder, and the Yankees tried to sign me out of high school as a first-round draft pick in 1981. I turned them down to go to college.
