Fear of failure is what fuels me, keeps me on edge and sharp. I'm not as good when I'm comfortable.

I have incredible motivation to go out and improve every day.

This is how I define grace: youre on the main stage, and it looks like it has been rehearsed 100 times, everything goes so smoothly. Thats where I get my confidence and success, from knowing that I have an edge because I know Im prepared.

Michael Jordan told me the way he kept the crown was by always outworking everyone else because he knew everyone was always coming after him. You can sneak up on people when you are 18, 19, 20. It's tougher when you're established. Before, I'd see 13, 14, 15 pitches that I could drive in a game. Now, I see one, two or three, so I have to be better.

You can take my cars or my house, just don't mess with my clothes.

I hate the word 'potential'-potential means you haven't gotten it done.

I like to score and drive in runs more than pay attention to batting average.
