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

If I can't hit at a high level, I won't play, and I know there comes a point where my body won't be able to do that.

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

It doesn't matter if we are down 3-0. We just have got to keep the faith like that one piece you were saying in "Keep on Going," because the game is not over till the last out.

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 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.

Negativity doesn't help me.
