I never doubted my ability, but when you hear all your life you're inferior, it makes you wonder if the other guys have something you've never seen before. If they do, I'm still looking for it.

These guys stuck with me. They walk the walk and talk the talk better than anyone I've ever seen.

Music's something you feel. You have to feel it first before you hear it.

You hear about Broadway your whole life, and I learned what it meant to work on Broadway in 'The Phantom of the Opera.'

I never smile when I have a bat in my hands. That's when you've got to be serious. When I get out on the field, nothing's a joke to me. I don't feel like I should walk around with a smile on my face.

Never do today what you can do tomorrow. Something may occur to make you regret your premature action.
