I remember playing for coaches who seemed like military-type guys. It always rubbed me the wrong way.

Music and smells are the most memory-recall, nostalgia-inducing things.

Everybody just wants to appreciate time as it's passing, to be in the moment. It's the hardest thing to do. You're either in the unknown future that you're working toward, or you're in the past that becomes a little abstract.

One minute you're starting left fielder, hitting home runs; the next, it's career over. I was 20.

I think 'Dear White People,' the show, is a tremendous artistic achievement. It's always hinting that there is something beyond the pleading and wokeness, something that the show's more militant characters can't see.

One goal I want to accomplish is I want to be known as the hardest-working guy on the team my rookie year.

Failure is a part of success.

The most important thing for me, when somebody asks me what I class as being a success, is being a decent human being.
