I didn't take many penalties, but I never missed one.

Staying out of the penalty box will really help.

I always tried to hit the ball back through the box because that is the largest unprotected area.

I could give 48 penalties in every match if I wanted to. It is a question of sometimes choosing what is - in your own mind - of material importance and what isn't, what might be a crucial potential penalty and what might not be.

I didn't like the play, but then I saw it under adverse conditions - the curtain was up.

I play the game as honestly as I can. If the referee gives a penalty there is nothing you can do.

I think making the referee aware of a situation, there is nothing wrong with that.

I knew it was gonna go out. It was just a question of it being fair or foul. The wind must have carried it 15 feet toward the foul pole. I just stood there and watched. I didn't want to miss seeing it go out.

I was correct in every call I made, regardless of what managers, players or replay may have said. To me, that's the reason I'm in the Hall of Fame. If I didn't umpire with conviction, I wouldn't have made it for long.
