What he does a good job of doing is throwing strikes and getting ground balls. He got a lot of ground balls today.
catching cup good paper piece throw
If I see a spider in the flat, I try to get a cup and a piece of paper and throw it out of the window. I can't kill them because they're good for catching flies.
achievement direct family good greatest love quite
I quite like the idea of family. That's probably the greatest achievement in the world. I've got a lot to achieve workwise - I'd love to direct - but family would be good.
advice bit confidence good ideas local others people ready simply
We know there are more local people with good ideas who simply need a bit of confidence and advice to take them forward. They can see others have done it and they're ready to have a go themselves.
bad cat five good next pick pitch runs someday throw
It's good because you always want to do better than the other guy, but say he has a bad day. He's down, but you're still going to pick him up because you want him to do well. It's baseball. Someday you're going to pitch a no-hitter and the other cat is going to give up five runs in an inning. The next day he'll throw a no-hitter and you'll give up five runs in an inning. It's baseball.

We had to bear down a little bit. Kyle did a good job pitching for us. He made pitches when he had to make them and the defense played well behind him.
dedicated good hours sacrifices three
If you want to give it a good go, you've got to make some sacrifices and be as dedicated as you can be. Particularly with 'Doctor Who.' It's two or three hours of line-learning a night.

We're focusing on what our program is going to be rather than what it was.
Spiders - the way they move freaks me out. It's so malevolent.
age awful early fact favourite frank god love sinatra song
I'm awful at karaoke, but if I did have to sing, I'd go for my favourite Frank Sinatra song 'I've Got You Under My Skin.' The fact I love Frank is my grandfather's doing: he drummed it into me from a very early age that Frank Sinatra is God.
fortunate frank hard mean nature rewarded ways work
It's hard work, 'Doctor Who,' but let's be frank about it, I'm fortunate to be rewarded in the ways that I am. I don't just mean financially, I mean the nature of the part and everything that comes with it.
funny reinvent
I think there's an interesting contradiction of having a young face and an old soul. There's something funny about it, and it also allows you to reinvent being old.
