My timing’s a little off. But I’m about to get hotter than Jamaica in the middle of August.

I showed people that it's not about guessing what people can do. It's about saying, 'Here, show me what you can do.'

I swing hard all the time. That's what I've done my whole life-hit.

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.

My mom, she wasn't like a baseball mother who knew everything about the game. She just wanted me to be happy with what I was doing.

You can never fall in love with a team.

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