He would have a keen eye for baseball talent and experience to do the job.

I admire certain priests and nuns who go off on their own and do God's work on their own, who help in the ghettos, but as far as the institution of the church is concerned, I think it is despicable.

I am not living the American Dream; I am living the American fantasy.

I began to look at other religions, Buddhism and so on, and realized there is another way of looking at life. A more benign way of looking at life.

I can't go too much into my domestic life because there are ex-wives ready to do me in.

I don't absolve my father completely of his responsibility for what he did to us... I feel compassion, maybe. He had his demons. But I still can't understand how a man can walk away from children. And leave them to starve, as we nearly did, if it wasn't for my mother going out and begging.

I had no accomplishments except surviving. But that isn't enough in the community where I came from, because everybody was doing it. So I wasn't prepared for America, where everybody is glowing with good teeth and good clothes and food.

I had no expectations. As I said to my wife, recently, I might be reviewed in the New York Times Book Review... And then I'd get my Library of Congress catalog number. And then I'd recede into obscurity and I'd get a job like everybody else.

I had to get rid of any idea of hell or any idea of the afterlife. That's what held me, kept me down. So now I just have nothing but contempt for the institution of the church.

I just have to proceed as usual. No matter what happens, nothing helps with the writing of the next book.

I think Eric just embodies what we want here with the Dodgers. He's passionate about winning -- he knows it's all about the fans so he wears his heart on his sleeve and he gives back to the community. He's a big part of the community -- he's the face of the Dodgers and that's very, very important. The community respects that because he gives back.

I think I settled on the title before I ever wrote the book.

I think that the Army, being drafted, was my escape route. I was in the Army for two years, and then I got the G.I. Bill, which enabled me to go to NYU and which enabled me to become a teacher. I don't know what would have happened if I hadn't had the G.I. Bill.

I thought I'd go mad. At one point I thought I'd put a plastic bag over my head and jump into the Hudson River.

I was beginning to think that you could somehow miraculously dig down into your memory and bring back stuff that is stored there.
