I'm proud of the fact that I'm the only player to hit a ball completely out of Dodger Stadium.

I wasn't out drinking and abusing my body. I simply loved to go out and dance.

Be honest and work hard to get what you want. Don't take shortcuts; you only cheat yourself in the long run. Success is not measured by money or fame, but by how you feel about your own goals and accomplishments and the time and effort you put into them.

I eventually became proud of my strikeouts, because each one represented another learning experience.

Vietnam helped me realize who the true heroes really are in this world. It's not the home-run hitters.

There's nothing I value more than the closeness of friends and family, a smile as I pass someone on the street.

I don't really feel that I deserve all my applause.
