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

I'm the kind of guy that I never forget my teammates.

I'm the same guy I've always been. I'm the same guy now as when I was hitting 50 home runs. I don't change.

I don't try to hit the ball 500 feet. It looks good when you hit it 500 feet, but as long as it goes over the fence, it's a home run. When you swing hard, it takes a little bit of recognition away from you. The power you're trying to increase - you're not all the way through it with your vision.

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 guess the rules aren't for everyone.

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