I refuse to be molded into some stereotypical ballplayer that has no interests, really, no life, no depth, no intelligence.

I looked up to my father when I was 7 and 8. I believed it was my calling to be in the big leagues. I'd been raised by a family that always told me I could do anything I wanted.

I was this 5-7 pudgy kid in high school... I wasn't a popular kid. I was an outcast.

When someone becomes successful or rich and famous, people perceive that person as being different. But I'm the same guy I've always been.

There is a spiritual hunger in the world today - and it cannot be satisfied by better cars on longer credit terms.

Man is an exception, whatever else he is. If he is not the image of God, then he is a disease of the dust. If it is not true that a divine being fell, then we can only say that one of the animals went entirely off its head.

When you're a screenwriter working on a film, you're not really even welcome on set, even if you know... When I wrote 'Elizabeth' and Shekhar Kapur was a friend of mine, but I wasn't really welcome on set, because the director is God and it's a very difficult position for a screenwriter who's put so much passion into that, into the writing.

Bitterness and unforgiveness block the flow of God's blessing in your life and actually hinder your prayers.
