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

In my opinion I really haven't done anything yet. I still have a lot to prove. I just want to prove to myself that I can play at the highest level of baseball in the world every day.

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

Cincinnati is perfect for me. I've met a lot of good people there who like to fish.

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.

Cincinnati needs to take notes from Houston. Houston fans are among the top five fans in the game.

It's always been family first for me. No matter how well my career goes, nobody here will ask anything of me. I'm just another Dunn to them.
