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

My parents always told me to stay away from trouble. When I moved away from them at a young age, I was fine because they taught me how to do everything right.

Whatever country you go to, you need to definitely follow the rules. So I believe it's very important for people, wherever they go, any immigrant should know or should try to learn something about the culture.

I'm a winner, I play to win, I want to make good things go on around me.

This jersey that we're wearing today doesn't say Red Sox. It says Boston.

I'm very mechanical, so if I have one thing that's going in the wrong direction when I'm hitting, it's hard for me to get a hit.

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