“You feel that you can hit any pitch.”

Byrd has always been that kind of pitcher.

2004 has to be my year. No more excuses.

He threw hard, but a good fastball.

My only worry was that he didn’t throw me a sinker.

I work hard on my defense.

When you go to home plate with a lot of confidence,

I want to be consistent from the first day of the season to the last.

I love hitting-that’s my favorite part of the game.

I’m an immigrant myself.

I don’t like to play slow or softly.

I’m confident, but not so confident that I’m cocky.

It’s something I take pride in, but it’s nothing that I want to brag about. It’s part of my game.

Trying to trick you, keep the ball low, in and out.

I have to get better, but I can’t change the way I play.

I’d probably support it, but I can’t do much.

But I love baseball and I love to play hard.

Do what you love to do and give it your very best. Whether it’s business or baseball, or the theater, or any field.

You have to be able to tap your foot or else none of what you doing you are not gonna have any control of your symptom.

I don’t think you ever write a song with any intention except the song’s about such and such per say.

I have never believed in being part of any one group or camp.

If any of my characters require me to blacken my beard I do it, otherwise I don’t.

To have any one of these without the others is self defeating in business.

It is a unit of the Russian Federation. Its political status is not to be discussed any more.

Any dream is possible if you are brave enough to do it YOUR way.
