I think I'm aware of what goes on in my mind more than some guys, and for that reason I fight more battles.

I was this 5-7 pudgy kid in high school... I wasn't a popular kid. I was an outcast.

When someone becomes successful or rich and famous, people perceive that person as being different. But I'm the same guy I've always been.

It's not like I'm some kind of veteran and there is this huge age gap. I identify with them more off the field. I need to set an example, which is great, and I look forward to doing just that.

Big league defense is going to get outs most times.

I looked up to my father when I was 7 and 8. I believed it was my calling to be in the big leagues. I'd been raised by a family that always told me I could do anything I wanted.

I just write mechanical things.
