“I would say my greatest achievement in life right now – my greatest achievement period is – and I’m still trying to achieve it – is to be a wonderful father to my kids.”

So you have to be more mentally focused in baseball.

The older kids decided to pick me on me starting when I was about 6 and it didn’t take me long to take a stand for myself.

So, I got a lot of recruitment letters from track.

Set your goals high, and don’t stop till you get there.

I struck out with two men on base. I was so angry, so frustrated, I turned and without even thinking about it, snapped my bat over my thigh.

The only thing I would change is during the summer – when I was working my summer job, if I was smart, I would have taken flying lessons at Auburn.

I was always the fastest and strongest kid in my school so events like the 100 meter and discus throwing attracted me.

I was a pitcher, shortstop and outfielder, and the Yankees tried to sign me out of high school as a first-round draft pick in 1981. I turned them down to go to college.

Don’t put off until tomorrow the loving words you can say today.

I was the type of guy that used to get up in the morning and go out and just out run everybody on the field without stretching or warming up or anything.

I have always been an avid bike rider. Even before I became an avid bike rider, I was an avid bike stealer when I was a kid. I am very educated on bikes.

I always wanted to be a pilot.

By doing that and being very competitive, the grown-ups started telling me even back before I started playing organized ball that I was too physical and too advanced for the kids my own age.

I’ll never worry about not being successful. I’ll just take it one day at a time, one season at a time. And play as hard as I can.

I have no problem with my hips – I can still do the things that I used to do. I can run, I’m just not the fastest person on the field anymore.

I was always active – I went from baseball to football. I didn’t have time to work out.

Knowing that every single day is so filled with potential – you cannot wait for life to give you anything. You have no right to feel entitled. You are not entitled to anything.

Hustle is waking up the day before you die and realising you gave it your all.

Dancers have more bones than most people and on the days when you work hard you are sure that you have somehow accumulated more bones than you started with.

Every day without exception – is a gift from God, entrusted to us to use for His glory.

I’ve been in a daze the last few days, just wanting all of this to fade away.

The day I made that statement, about the inventing the internet, I was tired because I’d been up all night inventing the Camcorder.

At the end of the day we are not selling, we are serving.

For the future, the motto is, “No days unalert.”
