 He was actually delighted that I was still there working that late, ... That was the sort of environment he created. He pushed people reasonably hard, but he balanced that by being a very compelling, almost Moses-like teacher. He knew what he wanted. You're unlikely to ever meet someone who had a more intense and focused mind than Rick.

 He worked our tails off. There were a hundred vocals I thought were perfect that he made me sing a dozen more times before he was happy. I got to the point that I just laughed and said, 'OK, Brian, you're the boss.' Now that I've heard the record, I'm glad he worked my rear to death. I really don't hear anything that I'd want to change.

 He's a winner. In talking to guys who have been with the Dodgers, they would say they enjoyed having him as manager. He works hard at what he does, he talks to them, and you can see that their pitching and fundamentals always have been strong. With the talent we have, I don't see any reason why he can't continue his successful run here.

 He's going to be targeted just with who he is. You have to earn the respect of your peers around the league when you're that young. He's awfully mature for his age, but at the same time, he's 18. He's done a great job with it, but I think anyone in his position at that age would get frustrated at times. He's only going to learn from it.

 He's looked OK. He's done what we've asked him to do. I don't think that he's had any problem with it. When will we make the decision [if he'll play]? When we're sure that the decision that we're making is . . . that we're not going to have to double back on it. That we're sure it's going to be the right decision for that point in time.

 He's not afraid. He does a lot of things, and I think just his nature lets him diffuse pressure, not only on himself but his players. I think that's the reason why they perform well in any environment. He's enough of a taskmaster to make sure things are done properly, but he has a lot of freelance in him, which makes his club dangerous.

 He's put tens of millions of dollars on the air trying to persuade people that he's a nonpartisan kind of guy. But when you support George W. Bush, when you support a conservative Republican Congress, when you support George Pataki -- all of whose policies have been hurting this city, all 8.1 million of us -- he is in no way a Democrat.

 He's said to himself that he's going to go out and be the best first baseman he can be. He never gets too up or too down. Maybe that's from his pitcher's mentality. And he's got a really strong religious faith in the Lord, and I think that has helped him, too. If we can't have him on the mound, we're just happy to get him at first base.

 He's still got to be more aggressive, he's still got to dunk with authority, he's still got to work on his shot. He has those [reluctant to shoot] tendencies, but you can't get upset with him. That's how he plays, that's his game. He'll do that, but I think little by little we can get him to be a little bit more aggressive in finishing.

 Here in the bathroom with me are razor blades. Here is iodine to drink. Here are sleeping pills to swallow. You have a choice. Live or die. Every breath is a choice. Every minute is a choice. To be or not to be. Every time you don’t throw yourself down the stairs, that’s a choice. Every time you don’t crash your car, you reenlist.
  Chuck Palahniuk

 His last two starts have been much better. His velocity (Thursday), he topped out at 89 (mph) and he averaged 88. His control is much better. ... He's throwing a little bit freer and easier and he's gotten a little bit more out of his arm. Certainly, if he's throwing 88, 89 from the left side he would be able to compete (in the majors).

 His recent statements and policy positions make it look like he's trying to cut into the Democrats' advantage among coastal voters. However, others are trying to get him to backtrack to shore up support among his Republican base. How he ends up resolving this will probably be the major strategic decision facing his re-election campaign.

 Historically in restaurants, the service staff is awarded significantly higher wages than cooks and other staff who prepare the food on which a restaurant's reputation is based. The gap in pay is so great that it is becoming increasingly difficult for young cooks to pursue their passion at the rate of pay restaurants are able to afford.

 History is our interpretation of past thoughts that happened to be written down or otherwise preserved. We do not really study [historical] causes, but what people at the time thought were the causes. And our aim in retrieving their thoughts is not so much to explain how things happened as to understand how they seemed to have happened.

 Hopefully it will make a big difference, ... Switching balls is a little thing, but it makes a big difference when you're playing against such good players. I didn't feel clean with anything I was doing up there in Montreal. Obviously getting here and getting used to the conditions four, five days in advance will make a huge difference.
