Hospice is such a tremendous thing. Patients seem to reach an inner peace.
My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, 'You're tearing up the grass'; 'We're not raising grass,' Dad would reply. 'We're raising boys.'
The Mayo Clinic is one of the largest and most experienced medical centers treating esophageal cancer in the world.
The people in the Upper Midwest were the same kind of people I grew up around in Idaho.
Joe Mauer's the real deal. He is absolutely wonderful. Not only is he a great player, but he's a great human being. He's the kind of guy you'd like to see... be your son.

I want to say that maybe I've made some wrong decisions, but I'm still an honorable person, and I intend to take care of all of my obligations.
I do everything in a straightforward manner.
When I was 14, and for the next four years, I was lifting and hauling 10-gallon milk cans full of milk. That will put muscles on you even if you're not trying.
No matter what, I've always been an optimistic person.
