This is our f---g city. And nobody is going to dictate our freedom.

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.

Sometimes you just don't feel the same everyday, it doesn't matter what you do, but when you have people looking forward to seeing you perform for them, that puts you in the mood, and that's natural in Boston. That's why it's such a special place to play.

What happened to me should teach everybody that you should never give up on anybody.

My teammates are the best.

The fans know that I don't give at-bats away.

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