Just let me do what I'm doing, and then when all of this is up, then you can say how my career was. Don't try to sum up my career in one or two seasons. Let me finish it first.

I am my own person. What I'm doing, I'm happy with it. I'm doing what I want to.

I grew up in a tough neighborhood where a lot of kids were older than me. The older kids decided to pick me on me starting when I was about 6 and it didn't take me long to take a stand for myself.

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've always played with kids that were five, six, seven years older than me.

Growing up as a kid, the back of my house faced a little community airport about four or five miles from my house.

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