Have I said dumb things? Absolutely, who hasn't? But I have never backed away from being called out on something I did or said wrong.

On a two week road trip I know I can get by better with no underwear than no laptop.

I'm a good person. I don't wish hateful things on people. I don't hate anybody. I know that I treat people right.

The bigger the game the better. I'm an adrenaline junkie. I feed off big crowds and noise.

I think I've earned a certain level of respect, based on my accomplishments and my consistency.

Baseball is not a sport you can achieve individually.

I care what people think, but that doesn't change what I say. I am who I am.
