I tell people all the time that without the fans, I've got nothing.

I don't miss anything I did for a living.

I've always wanted to be the best in the world as a baseball player, so when I started to think about opening a business, it was with that mindset.

In this I-me society, my job is to get people to buy into something bigger than themselves.

It is all about rehab. Most doctors can make you 100 percent well physically. I would tell you that it is 25 percent about the surgery and 75 percent about the rehab.

I think I've earned a certain level of respect, based on my accomplishments and my consistency.

I played on teams with 24 guys pulling the rope one way and one guy pulling the other. I've seen how destructive it can be. I tell them, 'If 13 of you are insanely successful and one fails, we all lose.'
