Everybody has that thing where they need to look one way but they come out looking another way and that's what people observe.
I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else.
Momentum? Momentum is the next day's starting pitcher.
We're so bad right now that for us back-to-back home runs means one today and another one tomorrow.
Every time I fail to smoke a cigarette between innings, the opposition will score.
I don't think, in all the years I managed them, I ever spoke more than thirty words to Frank and Brooks Robinson.
Momentum is only as good as tomorrow's starting pitcher.
There's a lot of instant spotlight and pressure when it comes to a Bond song.
If I had felt then as I feel now, or as I felt a few years after I had married her, nothing could possibly have persuaded me to marry a woman who smoked. Dates, yes. Sexual adventures, yes. But to pin myself permanently inside closed quarters with a smoker? Never. Never. Never. Beauty wouldn't count, sweetness wouldn't count, suitability in every other respect wouldn't count.
The fact that the games were so close was a tribute to the level of skill in the World Cup.
Now I know that if I'm in a fight or a big argument with executives or the studio or whoever, and it's getting to a point where it's starting to get bad, I don't have to have the fear of, "Am I strong enough to see this through? Would I really make a stand here? Would I really quit over this issue?" And I know in my heart that there is a place where I would walk away. I don't have to make it about my ego. I don't have to make it about whether I'm being strong enough or tough enough.
