On ownership's response to media leaks about his private life: "I wanted owners to feel same about me as they did about how they were perceived ... It was meant to hurt me."
On his eight years as Sox manager: "That's like dog years."
On whether or not he was fired: "It felt that way."
On drinking in the clubhouse: "That 2011 team was tamest I ever had. Drinking was not a problem."
On Manny Ramirez: "Best right-handed hitter I've ever seen. Once he left the batter's box, all bets are off."
On his playing career: "I was a journeyman, another way of saying I wasn't very good, but I learned a ton."
