I like happy endings.

Society doesn't like to deal with death, but it is a natural part of living.

Joe Mauer's the real deal. He is absolutely wonderful. Not only is he a great player, but he's a great human being. He's the kind of guy you'd like to see... be your son.

The people in the Upper Midwest were the same kind of people I grew up around in Idaho.

I speak very highly of Jim Thome. Not only is he a great player, but he's a great individual.

I do everything in a straightforward manner.
