Baseball shaded my entire outlook on life, because that's how I first saw the world. I looked at everything, even today, through what I learned about the game. Like pacing yourself, focusing yourself, preparing yourself for what you want to do, keeping yourself healthy for the game. I do all that through the eyes of a ballplayer.

I wasn't really serious about acting - I was serious about baseball

For guys playing sports at a high level, for money, I can't put my finger on it, but in a man's world of sport, there is something visceral to beating another man.

I know I come off differently than I think of myself. I'm always surprised by what people say about me.

Human beings, from their own point of view, are very different than what people see.

If it hadn't been for the videocassette, I may not have had a career at all.

I do get cynical, but what can you do? It doesn't make any difference.
