America has a culture of not saying sorry. I think there are a lot of people who will never admit they're wrong.

When a player cheats, you can't have a gold medal, right?

America is very tolerant of mistakes.

I would like to come back in the World Series. And I want to pitch better.

I had bad days, and that means somebody else had a great day.

The Houston Astros are an organization I really respect and they have a lot of great players.

I feel that if I absolve myself and say it was the Astros' fault I was bad in Game 7, in the World Series, I can't develop as a person.

I want to throw a faster fastball. I want a sharper curve. I want to improve all my pitches.

I want to focus more on my pitches, not on the tempo. After that, I felt more comfortable.

In life, I think huge failures are extremely important.

It's really hard to be consistent, and you have to know your body and know yourself.

Way, way, way back I played a little bit, but I am definitely not a golfer. You know, it just takes too much time anyway during the course of the day.

Seeing your name on the list for KP or guard duty when you're in the Army is like reading a bad review.

There's no smoking section in heaven.

Very often some of the religious miracle plays you see on television can be very corny, I find. And so simplistic.

When I'm at home in Virginia, I become more hermit-like. I like my own home.

Look, Hollywood's a mecca, but it's not the final answer. If you pick up a camera anyplace in the world, you can make a movie.

I always thought of myself as a later bloomer, so I like some of my work more later than earlier.

I love working in Texas anywhere.
