“Handle yourself like a professional on the field and you have one goal-and that’s to win.”

I can have fun anywhere, as long as I’m with good people. But in the offseason, I like to go somewhere warm, a nice spot in the Caribbean.

In order to lead people, you have to get to know them.

During the off-season, I go to the movies almost every day.

My best vacation is somewhere I could hide, somewhere warm and not a lot of people around.

I’m not perfect; no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes.

If I put my name on something, I’m going to be involved. I’m not just going to put my name on it and not pay attention.

Work hard, love what you do, put your best foot forward and never forget the kid in you.

I’ve hung out and dated people I’ve never even met before.

You gotta have fun. Regardless of how you look at it, we’re playing a game. It’s a business, it’s our job, but I don’t think you can do well unless you’re having fun.

You don’t just accidentally show up in the World Series.

Good teams make the playoffs, hot teams win the playoffs.

You have to be confident, if you’re not confident you might as well go home.

Obviously, you’re known for what you do. But you still want to be known as a good person. You’re a person a lot longer before and after you’re a professional athlete.

You’ve got to make adjustments as you get older.

I’m not one to sit around and be satisfied about something. I can always get better.

I want to play every day. This year will be absolutely no different.

If your goal is to be comfortable, chances are you’ll never get rich. But if your goal is to be rich, chances are you’ll end up mighty comfortable.

Set the goal and work all days for it, until you achieve, I want to be a champion, the best!

One does not advance when one walks toward no goal, or – which is the same thing – when his goal is infinity.

It is extremely rough to follow through with my goals, but I felt a responsibility to show the world what the African Americans are facing through this rough patch.

Keep your eye on the goal, keep moving toward your target.

Comfort kills! If your goal in life is to be comfortable, I guarantee two things. First, you will never be rich. Second, you will never be happy.

If someone with the right conduct tries to attain to something that lies outside of it, is his goal not the right conduct.

My goals are so high that I don’t have time to relax in any way, shape or form.
