Any pitcher who might throw at me should know I'm not giving up my day job or trying to get anyone else's job. I just can't think of anything cooler than being one of the boys of summer!
Any time I'm in a moving thing, like an airplane, I'm usually asleep before we even get on our way.
As a kid, before I could play music, I remember baseball being the one thing that could always make me happy.
Because of the changes in the Padres team I played with last year, I felt like a veteran recently when I worked out with Jason Kendall and he told me he's liked listening to my records since he was a kid!
Don't change a thing. That's one of the best gimmicks a band could ever come up with.
I believe in the Wal-Mart school of business. The less people pay, the more they enjoy it.
I don't know of too many double Christmas albums, so it is something that's new, and hopefully will be fun, and there's plenty of stuff out there to cut.
I got an offer in 1992 to buy a major-league team. I turned down the offer because I don't want my love of the game to involve business.
I like to follow my favorite team and talk sports with my band or fans. You won't believe how many musicians are sports fans. We have so much time on tour that we need these outlets for relaxation.
I want to get within myself and write. I really, really want to write.
I was going to audition for this baseball movie Kevin Costner's making called For the Love of the Game, but the scheduling couldn't be worked out.
I wore bell bottoms in elementary school. Never wore elephant bells. Remember, this was middle Oklahoma in the '70s.
I wouldn't mind producing a movie with a music storyline, but acting in one is too close to home.
I'd like to think a baseball picture is somewhere in my future.
I'd love to play a villain in a movie, the kind of bad guy you would never think of me being able to play. Like most people, I have a darker side I'd like to explore onscreen.
I'd much rather have the honesty than not. Because if you will say what's on your mind and get it off your chest, then the sooner I can prove you wrong!
I'll pass somebody, smell their perfume, and it will remind me of my very first date. I smell it, and I'm back in school!
I'm a big movie fan. After a show, if I'm on the bus or a plane, it's often hard to get to sleep, so I'll watch a film. An action film can even relax me.
I'm much too young to feel this damn old.
I've been taking batting practice in my barn where nobody can see me, so I may be better than anyone thinks.
If I have any talent at all it's from God, and my mom, who was on Capitol Records also.
It would have been fun to have played Tim Robbins' role in Bull Durham.
It's funny how a chubby kid can just be having fun, and people call it entertainment!
Just keep taking chances and having fun.
No matter what you say you might do, you never really know until you're in the moment. Every situation is so different.
Once they hand you that child, man, something takes over. I don't know what it is.
People aren't always themselves. They're always holding back something.
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.
Sometimes I thank God... for cheeseburgers.
Stand straight, walk proud, have a little faith.
That smell of freshly cut grass makes me think of Friday night football in high school. The smell of popcorn and cigar smoke reminds me of the stadium. The cutting of the grass reminds me of the August practice.
The greatest conflicts are not between two people but between one person and himself.
The guys have told me not to quit my day job.
The tour, as wild and as loud as it was in the first, would gain momentum as the years went by, because I would gain more confidence back.
True country music is honesty, sincerity, and real life to the hilt.
We're all loved as artists for the things that we did more than the things we do, and I don't want that to happen to us.
Whatever I do, I hope it's quality, I hope it's something that's class.
When I play Make You Feel My Love and it gets one of the best ovations of the night, that makes me feel like we're loved for things we do.
When we had hot lunch in elementary school, I liked those biscuits they served. You could smell them about an hour before lunch.
While I'm playing baseball, I'm still writing songs and having tapes sent to me. I'm sure I'll spend a lot of time in the whirlpool resting these tired bones, so I'll be thinking of music then.
You aren't wealthy until you have something money can't buy.
You know me, I've got to find some way to get a fresh fire.
