Every dollar I can't commit to my company that's paid in taxes is paying a government that I believe is too big and doing way too much that I don't want done.

I had a laptop when they weighed 10 pounds.

I don't vote party lines. Never have. I vote for the best candidate.

The most important to me is, Theo is a good person first and foremost. And I think that has a lot to do with it. He's not deceitful. He's an honest guy, a good guy. There's a lot more to this thing than it being a job for him, being born and raised here, the Red Sox being as important as they are to him. Above all else, Theo understands he's a compromiser. Theo understands that the clubhouse is our home. He doesn't invade that privacy often. When he does, he doesn't make you uncomfortable and that says as much about him as anything.

I was raised to understand and know the difference between right and wrong.

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

I've got a wife, four kids, a business, and a baseball career.
