I don't have any problem with government helping entrepreneurs and businesses.

Most guys who don't like me are either Democrats or Yankee fans.

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

I am human, when people write bad stuff about me it bothers me, but I know that will never end.

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.

The bigger the game the better. I'm an adrenaline junkie. I feed off big crowds and noise.

Short of baseball and my family, it was gaming. And gaming is a $20-million to $200-million multi-year effort. It's an insane, stupid and utterly irresponsible act. But I did it.
