I feel emptiness, and he probably won't be able to close his eyes for two or three days.

The fact that somebody is reducing your salary is just telling me they're not satisfied with what you're doing.

I think that winning creates chemistry, as opposed to other way around. I've been on a lot of friendly teams that couldn't win, trust me.

You get to the big leagues, and you think, 'Can I do this stuff?' Then you take the first pitch down the middle for Strike 1, and you think, 'I could have hit that.'

I think that I have a sensitivity toward people, and that is a strength.

I wish I could paint that picture. As a 20-year-old kid, that was a big thrill.
