You can be stupid once, but idiotic to do it again. I'll settle for being stupid.

I'm careful not to give into theatrics when times are tough, I don't like it when somebody gives into outside pressure and puts on a show for others.

Toughest thing for me as a young manager is that a lot of my players saw me play. They know how bad I was.

The thing I learned when I was playing was that your best way of winning was to make it difficult for the other team to score in the last three innings.

There are always distractions, if you allow them.

We never quit trying. I know that's kind of corny, but the fact is we never quit trying. The dugout was alive even when we were behind. And sometimes it works.

I'm very distressed that the report was leaked early so that the initial headline said 'dismissed, fired.' That's 180 degrees from the arrangement we have potentially.
