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?“
• "Short of baseball and my family, it was gaming. And gaming is a $20-million to $200-million multi-year effort. It's an insane, stupid and utterly irresponsible act. But I did it.“
• "Every dollar I can't commit to my company that's paid in taxes is paying a government that I believe is too big and doing way too much that I don't want done.“
• "I don't have any problem with government helping entrepreneurs and businesses.“
• "The only thing I hope I did was never put in question my love for the game, or my passion to be counted on when it mattered most.“
• "I had the perfect job for a gamer. From February to October, I'd get up at 7 in the morning with nothing to do but play games until I had to be at the park around 1 or 2 o'clock. When I got back after the game, I played until 3 or 4 in the morning.“
• "I think I've earned a certain level of respect, based on my accomplishments and my consistency.“
• "In this I-me society, my job is to get people to buy into something bigger than themselves.“
• "There's not a long track record of people leaving professional sports to become a software developer.“
• "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.“
• "Trust me, I have never written a speech in my life, and if I have my way, I never will.“
• "War is by no means something glamorous, and I don't think that should ever be forgotten.“
