My Marine experience helped shape who I am now personally and professionally, and I am grateful for that on an almost daily basis.

I'm not saying Senator Mitchell's report is entirely wrong. I am saying Brian McNamee's statements about me are wrong. Let me be clear: I have never taken steroids or HGH.

Well, to tell you truth, I have learned a long time ago that the trick when doing a debate, any kind of debate, is to just turn off the judgment switch in my head.

There are very few really stark black and white stories.

I'm in the civil discourse business. I think it takes all kinds. And more power to everybody.

I was never promised any special treatment or consideration for fingering star players. I was never coerced to provide information against anyone. All that I was ever told to was to tell the truth to the best of my ability. And that is what I have done.

The best nourishment for any soul is to create your own risks.
