“I bet on my team to win every night because I love my team; I believe in my team. I did everything in my power every night to win that game.”

“When you play this game twenty years, go to bat ten-thousand times, and get three-thousand hits, do you know what that means? You've gone zero for seven-thousand.”

“When I am home on a weekend, you can bet I am relaxing in sweats!”

“You have these big $200 and $300 million movies with special effects, and I've always thought, 'Gee, why don't we make 30 movies instead of one $300 million movie?' Let's shake it up a bit; wouldn't that be a better bet? Evidently not.”
