I don't give a damn about any actors. What good will John Barrymore do you with the bases loaded and two down in a tight ball game. Either I get the money (more than Barrymore), or I don't play!

If you want to hit home runs, you've go to swing a lot.

I'm only going one way.

What the hell has (Herbert) Hoover got to do with it? Anyway, I had a better year than he did.

Well, the good Lord and good luck must have been with me because I did exactly what I said I was going to do.

I only have one superstition: I make sure to touch all the bases when I hit a home run.

I learned early to drink beer, wine and whiskey. And I think I was about 5 when I first chewed tobacco.
