There’s such a thing, if you’re a finance man, as hitting the figures you need to hit. But there’s no equivalent in acting. It’s a creative field. It’s subjective. That’s what I love about it.
I try to keep it real simple. I try not to add a lot of frosting on what I’m doing. Just take the swing and don’t muscle the swing, because if you get in the hitting position and you take the swing, I generate a lot more bat speed, and that works for me.
I got cast on ‘MADtv’ as one of eight permanent cast members chosen from 8,000 comics who’d been screened. For any comic trying to make something of themselves, that was like hitting triple 7s-jackpot.

I’m a Texan – my idea of gun control is hitting what you aim at and nothing else.
I have never needed operations, I have had niggles the same as any other golfer after putting his body through 17 years of travel and a heavy playing schedule. I think I’m actually in pretty good shape considering the amount of hours spent hitting balls and sitting on an aeroplane.

Let me tell you, hitting 40 is not fun.
Since a month, two months ago, you know, I’ve started hitting the ball well. I’m playing some really good tennis. That really helps. I sort of have to motivate myself to get pumped up. It really helps my game a lot.
The physical side of my game – I know I’m hitting the stats I want to hit, but I want more assists and goals.

I take a tremendous amount of punishment and abuse every weekend because every team serves at me. So I have to carry the offensive load. I’m hitting the ball all the time.
I’ve never set up any golf course that would favor anybody. I try to make it exactly the opposite, which is what we did at Valhalla when we modernized it to accommodate the lengths players are hitting it today.
You go out on the practice range, and something kind of clicks, and you start hitting the ball very crisply. And you’re sure that you’ve found it, the holy grail – that all you have to do is hold your hand in a certain way. Then you go out on the golf course, and it’s completely disappeared.
I’m a tennis fan, so I like Roger Federer. He’s always two or three steps ahead, so he’s hitting a shot, but he’s also thinking about the next two shots. So I try to be in that frame of mind – to always be ahead.
Writing the first draft is like hitting the beach on D Day. You don’t stop to mourn the dead or comfort the wounded. You get off the beach because, if you don’t, you’ll die there.
Baseball was a chapter in my life, and now I’m excited to start another chapter as a hitting coach.
I’m a man of different types of flavors and tastes. I like listening to things that inspire me. Older music, when instruments were being played, not just people hitting buttons. It’s manlier. You’re touching things to make sounds appear.
Hui and E’dawn have many talents, and I can learn a lot from them. But they just lack experience. When I am with them, I feel like I become very innocent, and it motivates me. I guess it’s because I am too used to performing as a soloist, and things have become too comfortable hitting the stage alone.
Some players are bought by other clubs with an eye to them developing into something special in a few years’ time. Whereas there’s a bit more pressure on some of the other clubs to bring in players who are going to be hitting the ground running and top players verging on world class almost immediately.
It seems a little self-involved to be like, ‘Oh, he’s hitting on me.’ Maybe he’s just trying to start up an innocent conversation.

One of my favourite parts of training is doing it with Dad in the local nets. When I do that, I feel like a kid again. We never argue. He has to put up with some bad moods from me when I’m not hitting it as I’d like. He’s very placid. He’s not a pushy parent at all.
Particles were coming out of the lithium, hitting the screen, and producing scintillations. They looked like stars suddenly appearing and disappearing.
When I left school – or, rather, when I was expelled from school for hitting a kid who had disrespected a teacher – I had nothing, with nowhere to go. Where I’m from, it really means that. Now my family are millionaires. I never dreamed this would be possible.
I was hitting .360 when I was diagnosed. I didn’t forget how to play while I was recovering. I don’t know if the cancer is gone for good. I don’t think anyone ever knows, but no one is going to steal my joy for as along as I’m able to play baseball.
I’ve never been interested in the whole fame game; the headlines when I was disqualified in 1995 for hitting a ball girl were more than enough to make me want to keep my head under the radar.
When I get time after pack up, I try hitting the gym or go for a jog.

Back in the day, before I really started to work on defense, I would just take ground balls, whatever, a couple, and then I’d say, ‘OK, now I’m going to go hit.’ Now I spend just as much time on ground balls as I do on hitting.

Without action to de-carbonize our economies, unchecked climate change threatens to batter lives and economies around the world, hitting the poorest people hardest.
From drought-parched Brazil to the increasingly ice-free Arctic Ocean, from the rising seas along the Florida coast to the punishing heat waves hitting South Asia, in communities large and small, rich and poor, urban and remote, we can see the irrefutable evidence of what science has long told us was coming.
I studied all kinds of dance, all types of music. I got good grades. I started hitting the recording studio around 13.
I enjoy being a character actor; I enjoy being different in everything. I want a private life; I want to be able to go to 7-11 and not get into a fight with a guy because he saw me in a movie, or not have people hitting on me simply because they saw me in a movie.
Making the best-seller list is a big deal; it’s like being nominated for an Oscar. Hitting No. 1 is like actually winning the award. It’s very gratifying.
