“Show me a guy who's afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time.”

“I think a lot of people have a misconception of what I do. They think I'm just a speed guy.”

“If you can do that - if you run, hit, run the bases, hit with power, field, throw and do all other things that are part of athletic competition - then you can be a superstar.”

“If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.”

“Base stealing is a lost art, but it's a key to winning.”

“I felt that I had to do things that no one else was doing.”

“What is the key to being a successful baseball player? I think it is believing in yourself.”

“The biggest factor in my life is the love that I have for God.”

“Many of today's players are looking for the easy way out.”

“I always felt that I had something to prove.”

“Don't be afraid to take chances.”

“God has given me a talent, and I'm just trying to use it.”

“I was a catalyst. I was the guy who got things started.”

“The record is not the goal. The goal is to win.”

“I'm a human being, and I've got to have my freedom.”
