I've come to realize that I perform best when I'm letting my subconscious mind hit the ball and my conscious mind is otherwise occupied.

I've always been an actress, entertaining my family was the start. I'm a goof ball among many of my cousins and siblings.

If I'm gonna get my balls blown off for a word, my word is "poontang".

It's a tremendous responsibility to be direct descendants of the prophet Muhammad. This family has had the burden of leadership on its shoulders for 1,400 years. I'm not going to drop the ball on my shift.

I used to not be into the fancy ones. I used to eat goo balls all the time.

I really hate it when I can’t score runs from a ball.

He missed a couple balls out there. You want to see him be a little more accurate. He threw some behind, but he will continue to get better. He's better than he was last fall and I feel confident that he has improved from the fall.

A lot of these kids took a back seat the last few years. There weren't enough balls to go around. That doesn't mean they weren't quality players.

A couple of those balls were a little more jump balls than I wanted them to be. The rain kind of got me a little bit. ... We felt we could exploit them that way.

Ortiz has pulled quite a few home runs this year, and Manny wasn't having good passes at balls away all series. I just figured I'd stay out there, and they threw the ball pretty much where I wanted.
