Baseball is going to end some day. I realize that as soon as you retire you know, people forget about you in this game fast! There's the next young guy coming up that's always better than you. So, for me, it's just about using baseball as a platform to do a lot of things.

I started really believing and understanding what it meant to be a follower of Jesus when I was probably in high school sometime. From there, just trying to draw on my faith since then.

Baseball could end tomorrow but you're just understanding that God is in control of it and we are not.

I think more than anything, just putting in perspective what this baseball thing means and understanding that it is a gift and I didn't do anything to deserve that and realizing that if we continue to look to God to guide our path, you never know what could happen.

The first job I ever had was singing in a jazz club when I was like 15 with my friend, and we earned like 70 bucks. We were like, 'Oh my God!'

I really believe that what I do as an actress is my God-given talent. This is my calling, not my career.

Mercy is what moves us toward God, while justice makes us tremble in his sight.

I believe that my own Christian faith does indeed make universal claims.
