I think back and I really feel for what he (Roger Maris) went through, for all the negative stuff that was going on in his life. I wish it didn't happen.

Sammy Sosa's a September player, so you have to watch out for him. It's crunch time, time to make history.

So be it. I’m happy to bring the country together.

Only sixteen players have hit fifty or more homers in a season. To me, that's a very special milestone.

What he (Sammy Sosa) and I have been doing is fantastic. What we've done nobody in the game has done for thirty-seven years. I'm pretty happy with the way things have been going.

The only reason I took steroids was for my health purposes. I did not take steroids to get any gain for any strength purposes.

I do believe my personal spirituality, which spirituality itself I don't really equate to anything more than my personal connection with nature and the universe. With what is real, not a manmade contrivance. Finding a connection with those things through my music is something I've begun to take more seriously in order to understand why I feel that way.
