I don't try and be dark, but there are obviously darker emotions that I want to capture sometimes.
My brother never got an opportunity to throw a pitch, and I didn't want the same thing to happen to another young kid.
I understand business and understand the ugly face of baseball, which is the business part of baseball.
I wasn't playing mind games with anybody, I just said what I said. I am responsible for it, but I wish everybody would fall asleep for that one and let me go out there and do my thing.
Whether you like it or not, the last few years I'd be the first one to tell you I haven't been the Pedro Martinez that I'm used to being.
I'm open to play for anybody that would give me respect, treat me the right way, and actually going to make me feel comfortable.
None of the teams that actually probably were offering me a job from the getgo, actually in spring training, are in the playoffs right now.
I'm going to keep talking about what I think is interesting for my entire career. If you want to hear about how women do a lot of shoe shopping or how being married sucks, go see the guy who does jokes about that. But if you come to see my live show, there's going to be 20 minutes on religion for the rest of my life, probably. If that makes me a caricature, so be it.
Total revolution of consciousness and our entire social, political and economic system is what interests me, but that's not on the ballot.
The new religion will teach the dignity of human nature and its infinite possibilities for development. It will teach the solidarity of the race: that all must rise and fall as one. Its creed will be justice, liberty, equality for all the children of earth.
Biologists now pretty universally regard vitalism as a vestige of a bygone age.
