Keith Hernandez Quotes

  • [on the passing of Elaine Kaufman] She’s the one who prodded me to get going when I retired. She told me that I was too talented to sit on my duff and not do anything. I was shocked, because all our conversations before had been social and friendly. But this was like a mother to her son: ‘Get off your lazy butt and do something! Don’t let this go to waste!’
