Anyone can forget about talent, but if you're a good person, your name will be remembered a long time.

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.

I don't care if people like me or not. Respect is more important.

Balsamic vinaigrette, Tabasco, and giblets. Then let it boil.

I don't expect people to feel sorry for me. My teammates get more upset about the criticism and booing than I do.

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

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