A man has to have goals - for a day, for a lifetime - and that was mine, to have people say, 'There goes Ted Williams, the greatest hitter who ever lived.'

When I think about athletes, probably my favorite guest of all time among baseball players was Ted Williams.

When Ted Williams was here, inducted into the Hall of Fame 37 years ago, he said he must have earned it, because he didn't win it because of his friendship with the writers. I guess in that way, I'm proud to be in this company that way.

Tennessee Williams is an incredible writer for women because, in many ways, his women characters are him. He writes so passionately.

Mediocre men work at their best; men seeking excellence strive to do better.

Ted Williams is one of the best hitters ever to play the game, and I didn't get a chance to see him play, so all I could do was read books and look at pictures.

Only a mediocre person is always at his best.

I want to be remembered as a guy who tried his best and did his best.

I wish there was a painter who could paint as well as Ted Williams could hit.
