I've tried a lot of things in the off-season, but the only thing I really know is baseball.

You visualize [pitches]. You see it in your head; you think it...I used to play every pitcher in my mind before I went to the ballpark. I started getting ready for ever game the moment I woke up.

I need to depend on Someone who is bigger, stronger and wiser than I am. I don't do it on my own. God is my strength. He gave me a good body and some talent and the freedom to develop it. He helps me when things go wrong. He forgives me when I fall on my face. He lights the way.

I am very proud to be an American. This country has so much potential, I'd just like to see things better, or whatever, and I think it will be.

I never thought we'd ever have a black president. President Obama has done such a tremendous job He just has been unable to get what he needs to be moved at the level it should be moved.

There is no such thing as a bed of roses all your life.

Consistency is what counts; you have to be able to do things over and over again.
