I'm a realist. And realists don't fool themselves.

At Texas, I was a football player playing baseball. And the way I play I think I still am.

I'm a realist. And realists don't fool themselves.

I hope baseball doesn't get to the point where everyone's saying, 'He takes it [steroids]. He takes it. He takes it!' because not all of us do. I've been big my whole life, and I'll always be big. That's all natural.

I'm a small-town guy, and moving to a huge city might be an adjustment.

In baseball, it's tough to get up for every single game, every single moment. In football, you have 90,000 fans screaming and the band's playing. I do miss that adrenaline rush.

I have fun. I always have fun. I don't really get in a hurry about anything. I just try to go with the flow and have fun, and that's how I try to play baseball.
