I was the type of guy that used to get up in the morning and go out and just out run everybody on the field without stretching or warming up or anything.

I think everyone would love to see Jeff Gordon lose or get run into the wall, but I think he uses that - similar to me.

By doing that and being very competitive, the grown-ups started telling me even back before I started playing organized ball that I was too physical and too advanced for the kids my own age.

I'm the type of person, I cross the bridges once I get to 'em. I don't try to plan my life three, four months in advance, because you don't know if tomorrow's promised to you.

Whenever I wasn't watching the planes, I was playing community baseball, football, or something like that.

I'll never worry about not being successful. I'll just take it one day at a time, one season at a time. And play as hard as I can.
