When I took the job as the manager of the Olympic team, I didn't take it because I was a Dodger. I did it because I was an American, and I wanted to bring that gold medal where it belongs in baseball, the United States. And that's exactly what our team did.

You have got to love what you are doing. You have to appreciate what you are getting, and you have to do it to the best of your ability.
