I'm a guy that people look at me not only as a guy that hit the ball.

Some people think I'm mean, until they get to know me.

Sometimes when you're fighting, fighting, fighting, the mind needs some time off and you regroup and get back to normal.

Life is a challenge that you need. There's things in life that are going to throw you into the ground, but if you learn how to get up, that means you are not a quitter.

I'm an easy person to get along with. Even when I struggle, I have the same attitude.
