So every dollar of income that I have that is potentially taxed away is a dollar I can't put in my company to create a job. My entire company is around job creation.

Before I pitch any game, from spring training to Game 7 of the World Series, I'm scared to death.

I am much more of a geek than I am an athlete.

I care what people think, but that doesn't change what I say. I am who I am.

In my mind, I never doubted whether I was going to achieve what I wanted to do. I just had to decide what it is I wanted to do.

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

I've made mistakes, I've misspoke, I am sure I will again sometime, but that happens, that's part of being human in my book. I'm OK with that. I've never done it maliciously, ever.
