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.

I'm OK being the veteran, but I'm still just a kid.

It would be great to just be able to ignore everything and pitch to a spot, to suppress the intellect and let the intuition take over.

I can relate to anyone. I can hang out with stoners, skaters, surfers, stockbrokers, lawyers, athletes, rappers. I feel I can hang out with any group of people and find common ground to talk with them.

Some people pray to a totem pole, some people pray to a sun, some people pray to a god. It all works for them. It all comes back to what you think.

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.
