Every dollar I can't commit to my company that's paid in taxes is paying a government that I believe is too big and doing way too much that I don't want done.
I did all the stupid things you'd expect from a 21-year-old kid with money.
I did everything I could to win every time I was handed the ball.
I'd like to think I did well. I'd like to think that, if I had a must-win game, the guys I played with would want me to have the ball. But no, I don't think I deserve to be in the Hall of Fame.
The most important to me is, Theo is a good person first and foremost. And I think that has a lot to do with it. He's not deceitful. He's an honest guy, a good guy. There's a lot more to this thing than it being a job for him, being born and raised here, the Red Sox being as important as they are to him. Above all else, Theo understands he's a compromiser.

Trust me, I have never written a speech in my life, and if I have my way, I never will.
More often than not, what you open, unwrap and install on your hard drive is not what you were told you were getting.
I've been able to do what I love and what I'm passionate about my entire life. I made, you know, an insane amount of money playing baseball.
I'm a very routine-oriented guy.
People love to say we get paid a lot of money to play a game, but it stopped being a game when you start getting paid.
I wanted to create a multibillion dollar company that lets me go out and let us go out and change the world and create a Skin Cancer Awareness Center that costs a quarter a billion dollars.
I was a very weird amalgam of things as a kid.
