Now, if I had an Indian name, it would be 'Stands in Confusion'.

I have spoken to many, many Indian chiefs who say they have no objection whatsoever to the nickname.

My first agent told me to change my name or I'd only play Jewish parts or Indians. Of course I refused to change it. Shortly thereafter she came up to me and told me I had to keep it, because her numerologist said it was very, very good.

On no further occasion present a flag or medal to an Indian.

There are names I do not want mentioned in my home.

Like an author, a cricketer signs his name on every innings he bats or bowls in; indeed for every cricket ball that challenges him on the field.

Indian names were either characteristic nicknames given in a playful spirit, deed names, birth names, or such as have a religious and symbolic meaning.

I went through baseball as 'a player to be named later.'

If people want to think I'm an Indian prince, I don't want to dispel that notion.

I have a name, I have to take advantage of it.
