Quotes of 1963

Quotes taken from the authors in 1963

It's no secret what's going on in baseball. At least half the players are using steroids.

I didn't think I was going to play that day. I'd have to thank the training staff for getting me on the field that day. They made a bigger deal than I thought it was.

I had a real good thing going for me, and I got sidetracked. It doesn't have to be that way. It doesn't have to be drugs. It doesn't have to be alcohol. That part of my life is over.

Clemens and Maddux have defined our era, I believe. And Randy Johnson is right behind them and still going.

I think the changeup has become more popular recently by pitchers like Pedro Martinez and the success he had with it.

I have far too many skeletons in my closet to think about any sort of serious mention of public office.

Today baseball is currently enjoying a run of more than 14 years without interruption, a record that would have been inconceivable in the 1990s.

We just kind of relied on written scouting reports through the eighties and even the early nineties. I've really been amazed by some of the data that's out there, especially with regards to tendencies of hitters, and certainly tendencies of pitchers as well. I would have loved to have gotten that data when I played.

Faith is reason grown courageous.

Faith is not trying to believe something regardless of the evidence. Faith is daring to do something regardless of the consequences.

Faith is not contrary to reason.

I have to consider my greatest accomplishments winning the Olympics because everything that I've done after that is really because of the Olympics.

So the programs all start to all look the same. I watched one free skating competition, and I thought I was watching a short program. Everyone was doing exactly the same elements.

The Olympics are great for notoriety right off the bat, but your body of work is what people remember you for.

Kat and I were in our 20s when we won in '88. Our personalities were already established. We were ready to move on to a life of professional skating.

Plus the public's attention span is so short right now, if a skater doesn't strike while the iron is hot... well it's not like people will forget you, but they just won't care anymore.

I was surprised that my wife thought it was a good idea, then again with my agent, another woman, then my editor, another woman - in spite of the fact that all three of them reacted positively I still have this fear.

I have a deadline. I'm glad. I think that will help me get it done.

Moby Dick - that book is so amazing. I just realized that it starts with two characters meeting in bed; that's how my book begins, too, but I hadn't noticed the parallel before, two characters forced to share a bed, reluctantly.

It's good to have it over with. I worked on it a long time, and I didn't know what people were going to think of it. Would people like it? Would they buy it? So far it's been doing pretty well.
