Motivation is something nobody else can give you. Others can help motivate you, but basically it must come from you and it must be a constant desire to do your very best at all times and under any circumstances.

There's always some youngster coming up- they'll find somebody.

If you keep thinking about what you want to do or what you hope will happen, you don't do it, and it won't happen.

We need a hit, so here I go.

I think there are some players born to play ball.
