I’m fighting for my life, I have to defend myself. If I don’t defend myself, no one else will.

Therapy can be a good thing; it can be therapeutic.

You can have fun, respect the game and also play it hard. When you have that combination, you're going to put yourself in a position to be successful.

I love the challenge of the game. I love the work. My goal right now is to have a season next year that will make people forget about this one. I'll use things like this for motivation. I'm pumped. I'm hungry.

I do my best hitting when I'm walking. That means I'm relaxed and my pitch recognition is a lot better.

I'm not impulsive at all - except about buying clothes. That's my biggest weakness.

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