I've done a lot of growing up and realized a lot of things.

I want to be known as a good major-leaguer, and good major-leaguers work to become good.

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.

It takes a lot of pressure off you just to go out and play, and your talent sometimes shines even more when you don't worry about individual stuff.

I'm having a hard time finding a date. I don't trust any women I meet. I'm very skeptical.

Back then it was a different culture. It was very loose. I was young. I was stupid.

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