I didn't respond to that. I'm not scared of heights. I'm just scared of falling from heights.
I was just kind of doing the math.
I'll never take for granted the opportunity to put on a Dodger uniform.
Because we call ourselves Christians, our actions need to reflect Christ.
I know I didn't do anything to desire the talent, that God gave me. What a blessing it is to throw a baseball for a living! I know I'm very privileged to get to do that, so - that said I don't want to take that for granted! I want to do everything I possibly can to make it worth my while, make it worth God's time. With that comes a competitive advantage - I think I'm pitching for a lot more than just winning a baseball game, trying to honor Him in everything I'm doing - and winning's pretty fun too! So, I like doing that!.
Baseball is going to end some day. I realize that as soon as you retire you know, people forget about you in this game fast! There's the next young guy coming up that's always better than you. So, for me, it's just about using baseball as a platform to do a lot of things.
I think, a lot of things get wrestled around with Christianity in this day and age about what it means, what it stands for and I think it gets the wrong connotation all over the world. So, for me, using baseball and using Jesus' name - I really just want to focus on Him. I don't want to think about Christianity or the religious aspect of it. You just want to focus on Jesus and loving Jesus. Saying you're a Christian shouldn't turn people off. You should love people well and that's Jesus' first commandment!
I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility.
No one is more cherished in this world than someone who lightens the burden of another. Thank you.
I'm so proud of Jason's [Benjamin] work. I can say this and he can't, but there's no group of documentary subjects more devoted to their documentarian. The vibes are really positive, and I feel so lucky.
The long words are not the hard words, it is the short words that are hard. There is much more metaphysical subtlety in the word "damn" than in the word "degeneration. "
