"It takes a lot of energy to be negative. You have to work at it. But smiling is painless. I'd rather spend my energy smiling."
"Life is too short to worry about anything"
"Life is too short to worry about anything. You had better enjoy it because the next day promises nothing."
"I'm having a good time. I'm going to treat every game and every day as if they are my last because I now know that they could be."
"People saw me as being heroic, but I was no more heroic than I was with other injuries I had, like the lacerated kidney I suffered during the 1990 World Series. It's just that people haven't known anyone with a lacerated kidney, but everyone can relate to someone with cancer."
