Curt Schilling

"I've got a wife, four kids, a business, and a baseball career."

"I've always wanted to be the best in the world as a baseball player, so when I started to think about opening a business, it was with that mindset."

"I've helped create over 400 jobs in the worst economy of my lifetime. That's cool."

"Before I pitch any game, from spring training to Game 7 of the World Series, I'm scared to death."

"The things I was allowed to experience, the people I was able to call friends, teammates, mentors, coaches and opponents, the travel, all of it, are far more than anything I ever thought possible in my lifetime."

"I don't hide my feelings, but when it comes to illness, I guess I don't panic. My father was the same way. I'm the provider for the family and the caretaker. If I panic, who is anybody going to run to?"
