I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said, 'I want to be left alone.' There is all the difference.

It is bitter to think of one's best years disappearing in this unpolished country.

Anyone who has a continuous smile on his face conceals a toughness that is almost frightening.

I get a kick out of watching a team defense me. A player moves two steps in one direction and I hit it two steps the other way. It goes right by his glove and I laugh.

That is the definition of equal justice under law: everyone gets a fair shot, everyone pays their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules.
