I'm not concerned with your liking or disliking me... All I ask is that you respect me as a human being.

I had no future with the Dodgers, because I was too closely identified with Branch Rickey. After the club was taken over by Walter O'Malley, you couldn't even mention Mr. Rickey's name in front of him. I considered Mr. Rickey the greatest human being I had ever known.

I just see myself as a human being that's concerned about life.

I do not take steroids. I never have. It's sad to me that people want to point fingers. I don't do that. That's not me. I wouldn't feel like a human being.

A human being is a deciding being.

I'm obsessed with being human.
