Close don't count in baseball. Close only counts in horseshoes and grenades. ↗

I haven't seen a player in this game, as long as I've been in it, that can't be pitched to... Barry is an outstanding ballplayer. I respect him an awful lot. I also have confidence in my pitchers that they can pitch to Barry Bonds and get him out. ↗

The way we're going... if I called up another pitcher, he'd just hang up the phone on me. ↗

Baseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he's losing; nobody wants you to quit when you're ahead. ↗

I guess you'd call me an independent, since I've never identified myself with one party or another in politics. I always decide my vote by taking as careful a look as I can at the actual candidates and issues themselves, no matter what the party label. ↗

In precisely the same way money is often hired, and the hire paid for the use of it is called Interest. ↗

Sometimes, instead of purchasing a commodity out and out, people want to buy only the use of it, for a longer or shorter period. The price paid for such temporary use is commonly called hire. ↗

There is no word more generally misinterpreted than the word egoism, in its modern sense. ↗

Prior to Elephant I'd taken about six years of acting classes in Portland, but there's not a huge market there. The only thing we have is commercial stuff, and that didn't really appeal to me. So this is really a dream come true. ↗

So for me having that element of being able to be competitive wasn't a problem. I'm very competitive. I thought if I could skate first, acting would come second. I could say my lines and then go do what I was saying. You don't have to fake it, you're not really acting. ↗
