I think he (Selig) is probably better able to get support among owners, ... But they're trying to roll back 25 years of labor agreements in one round.

This is a great honor and an historic moment in the history of the Hall of Fame. What a great sadness there is that we didn't do this 30 or 40 years earlier. . . . These people who were candidates were greatly honored by being candidates, I'm sure, but it would have been nicer had we been able to do this 30 or 40 years ago and have so many more alive. So, I'm sorry we're late, but I'm proud that we're doing it.

I think the investigation is the right step. I don't think the issue is punishment, I think it's 'Shouldn't the players be called to task for cheating, even if there is no punishment' I think baseball has to recapture the moral high ground.

I needed an outlet in high school and came across painting. I've actually been painting longer than I've been acting. A movie is a collaborative effort, and with painting you just have yourself.

All that passes is raised to the dignity of expression; all that happens is raised to the dignity of meaning. Everything is either symbol or parable.
