• A lot of pitchers today are afraid of the ball. Warren Spahn pinch-hit for me when I was a rookie. He hit a sacrifice fly. I couldn't argue. I was 20 years old and just happy to be in the big leagues. And Spahnnie was a good hitter.

• I was struggling at Rookie Camp to be quite honest with you. Basically, it was a week of being locked down like in jail for me. I would say about 50 percent of it was useful. The most challenging part of it was off the court. I mean, man we were just sitting there at times. We had meetings from about 10 a.m. in the morning to about 10 at night and you can't get a workout in at all.

• I don't think you could teach someone to be a genius, but you can certainly teach them to not make rookie mistakes and to look at writing the way a writer looks at writing, and not just the way a reader looks at writing. There are a lot of techniques and skills that can be taught that will be helpful to anybody, no matter how gifted they are, and I think writing programs can be very good for people.

  13 Copy quote

• Some people learn from mistakes and don't repeat them,
  Others try to block the memories and just delete them.
  But I keep 'em as a reminder they're not killing me,
  And I thank God for teaching me humility.
  Son, remember when you fight to be free
  To see things how they are and not how you like em to be.
  Cause even when the world is falling on top of me,
  Pessimism is an emotion, not a philosophy.
  Knowing what's wrong doesn't imply that you right,
  And it's another when you suffer to apply it in life.
  But I'm no rookie...
  And I'm never gonna make the same mistake twice, pussy.
