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 just swing hard in case I hit it -- that's it.

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

You don't get better as you get older in your career. It's not natural to have your best years late in your career. So I'm trying to do whatever I can to keep my body feeling good for as long as I can.

I stress a lot, sometimes.

I've always been my own hitting coach.

All I like to do is work every day and have an idea what I want to do.
