It's a beautiful day for a ballgame... Let's play two!
I have a beautiful wife and two beautiful children, and every day I am paid to do what I love.
At the end of the day, the ultimate goal is winning the ballgame.
You don't need a Harvard MBA to know that the bedroom and the boardroom are just two sides of the same ballgame.
Every day that goes by and we don't win a ballgame, that's a missed opportunity for us to battle back.
I felt what I almost always feel when I am watching a ballgame: Just for those two or three hours, there is really no place I would rather be.
Don't play for one run unless you know that run will win a ballgame.
I did pretty well busking. I would play two to eight hours a day, and I could make two or three hundred an hour.
And, as my father used to tell me growing up, "Play it beautiful, play it beautiful." He said, "I don't care if you don't hit all of the notes. If you don't move a person's heart, it's not music."
You don't want to play in League One and League Two pitches - you want to play on a massive pitch in the Olympic Stadium with beautiful grass.
It was about 105 degrees in Chicago. And that's a time when everybody gets tired. I came into the clubhouse, and everybody was sitting around, and I said, 'Beautiful day. Let's play two!' And everybody looked at me like I was crazy. There were a couple of writers around, and they wrote that, and it stayed with me.
We play at the world's most beautiful beaches but in the world's most challenging conditions. It is not like you play one match and you go back to air conditioning. We do it all day long.
I just think that's the most amazing thing to be able to go to places like Japan and surf all day and then that night, play music. It's never been one of those things that's disrupted the flow of one and other, they've just enhanced one and other. It's incredible. It's beautiful that I found these two things that help each other out.
Nothing beats a jog, and perhaps a push-up or two, by the ocean on a beautiful day.
In a typical day, I would wake up about 8 A.M., pile all my stuff into my mom's minivan - my guitar, my amp, CDs to sell, a table and a rug - drive it down to the street, and unload it all. I'd wait until about 12, then play for two hours. You could only play in two-hour intervals, so then I would move it all somewhere else.
I don't play favorites with people. My basic philosophy is that the only way to make the world a better place is by bringing something beautiful to every single person you run into at every moment of the day, so how can you play favorites with somebody?
Today's a beautiful day, and yesterday was a beautiful day, so that means it's a great life.
