I like to be against the odds. I'm not afraid to be lonely at the top. With me, it's just the satisfaction of the game. Just performance.

If you want to be on top, you've got to have broad shoulders, because as fast as you get there, the faster they try to knock you down.

When I was playing, it would be whatever role I wanted. Now it's whatever they ask me to do, which I kind of like better.

I don't ever remember having any bad times here in Pittsburgh.

I feel my time in baseball has come and gone. I feel like I had a great career. I had a lot of fun and have a lot of great memories. At one point in time, I'll be able to tell it all. Right now that's in the past. I see things differently. I more want to help.

Young players need to know how to take care of themselves for life after baseball.

Sometimes I surprise my own damn self.
