I like people talking about me, about my defense or what I'm doing. I like to see that, and that makes me work hard.

It's going to be crazy. I'm guessing when we play against the Dominicans, half the field will be Dominican fans and half will be Puerto Rican fans. With all the big-time players in the World Classic, it's going to be huge.

I learned that I have to work hard every day, that I can't get down if I get in a slump.

I just need to come to the park every day thinking something good is going to happen to me and hoping today is going to be the day.

My goal is to win. It doesn't matter how I do. I want to do well, but I just want the team to win.

I don't want to be hiding from people. It would be difficult to be recognized everywhere, so that I couldn't do things ordinary people do.

My mom and dad gave me everything they could have given me.
