The thought of writing was always pleasant, but the process was painful
I know what it takes to win ball games.
A lot of players go into a restaurant and ask for a special table. I go and stand in line with the working people. It's very easy to get spoiled playing professional sports.
I'm no George Brett, and I probably never will be.
I'm relaxed at the plate. I'm not trying to do too much.
You know, a lot of people say they didn't want to die until the Red Sox won the World Series. Well, there could be a lot of busy ambulances tomorrow.
I fell in love with Boston, so hopefully, I'll be here for a long time.
The end of writing is to instruct; the end of poetry is to instruct by pleasing.
Most directors make films with their eyes; I make films with my testicles.
You always get things that teach you and steps to grow, but there is a confidence that is gained and a deep understanding of what it means to be supported by your knowledge - not by some team that is there to create confidence; it is there within you. That takes time. That takes teachers. That takes taking risks.
Night brings our troubles to the light, rather than banishes them.
