“Money and women. They’re two of the strongest things in the world.”

The things you do for a woman you wouldn’t do for anything else. Same with money.

How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?

If a man can beat you, walk him.

Work like you don’t need the money. Love like you’ve never been hurt. Dance like nobody’s watching.

Avoid running at all times.

The only change is that baseball has turned Paige from a second class citizen to a second class immortal.

Ain’t no man can avoid being born average, but there ain’t no man got to be common.

I ain’t ever had a job, I just always played baseball.

I don’t generally like running. I believe in training by rising gently up and down from the bench.

Age is a case of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it don’t matter.

Just take the ball and throw it where you want to. Throw strikes. Home plate don’t move.

Don’t pray when it rains if you don’t pray when the sun shines.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it a a hundred times, I’m forty-four years old.

When a batter swings and I see his knees move, I can tell just what his weaknesses are then I just put the ball where I know he can’t hit it.

I never threw an illegal pitch. The trouble is, once in a while I toss one that ain’t never been seen by this generation.

Don’t look back. Something might be gaining on you.

With God, I can do all things! But with God and you, and the people who you can interest, by the grace of God, we’re gonna cover the world!

Giving up is conceding that things will never get better, and that is just not true.

I always wanted to be as busy as possible so that if one job went away I’d still have plenty of other things to do.

Some actors actually think about what they’re going to talk about during the interview–they read up and meditate and plan quotes and get all inspired. It’s very smart, but it’s so planned. I never think to do that.

I hate elevators. I’m claustrophobic so for me to be in an elevator or small spaces is probably the worst thing on earth.

Omnipresence can be a good or bad thing, I suppose. I don’t want to spend a lot of time thinking about it. I’m super-grateful.

Is that I get to constantly do different things, put on different hats, be different people, and mixing up the genre really lends itself to that.

Being an artist is more of a mindset, a way of seeing things; it is no longer so much about producing something.
