They pick me [to be tested for steroids] every time. I don't know why. I don't know if it's because I'm a big guy, or what, but all I know is all they are going to find is a lot of rice and beans.

If I can't hit at a high level, I won't play, and I know there comes a point where my body won't be able to do that.

You can't say that being a fan is more serious, because players are trying to do better in order to get paid better.

Everybody goes through some tough times in their life, no matter what you do. Man, I've had my tough times.

My teammates are the best.

I know in my situation, my mind works more than everything else. I've been like that my whole career.

Everybody has something to prove each year. Everybody has a responsibility in this game. Even the batboy.
