I refuse to be molded into some stereotypical ballplayer that has no interests, really, no life, no depth, no intelligence.

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.

When I'm doing well, it's like I'm in a nice little ballet. Everything is going slow all around me. It's very peaceful.

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.

I hadn't focused on mechanics since I signed professionally.

We speak for the entire Giants organization when we say that there is no place in society for hatred and bullying against anyone.

There's a part of me that wants to go streak and run outside and jump around and go swim in the ocean and do everything. The other part of me wants to bear down and repeat this kind of performance next year and in the years to come.
