I’d love to be an artist that’s multifaceted. At the moment, I am not. But wouldn’t that be cool if I was like, ‘Yeah, let me pull out my guitar and play you a song.’ I would adore that.

There was once this viral photo of the Pope doing his Pope-mobile parade, and everyone had their phones up. But there was this one old woman looking over the fence so beautifully at him.

You can keep going on and on about the interactions of people, which makes it a great drama and great event, and you’ll always hold that special, but if you’re looking at a baseball moment, the feeling you get when you win the World Series by far exceeds anything else in the game that you’re able to do. – Cal Ripken, Jr.
