Anything that disturbs your comfort factor is good for you.

There are always distractions, if you allow them.

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.

Pressure comes when someone calls on you to perform a task for which you are unprepared.

It's like most anything. If you want to be a loser, there's always a way to dwell on the negative. If you want to win, there's always a way to think positively.

Just because you're down to your last strike, you're not out yet. You can always do more. You'll always have more at-bats to take. That's true in baseball, in rescuing animals, and in life generally.

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.
