Everybody has something to prove each year. Everybody has a responsibility in this game. Even the batboy.

You can't say that being a fan is more serious, because players are trying to do better in order to get paid better.

My whole career, my swing has always been the most important thing to me. Even when I'm taking a shower, I work on my swing.

I'm just another player that comes in and comes out. Everybody's time is up at some point, I don't think that's my problem. I'm just going to keep on trying like I normally do.

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

They pick me [to be tested for steroids] every time. I don't know why. I don't know if it's because I'm a big guy, or what, but all I know is all they are going to find is a lot of rice and beans.

A lot of people write books not at the end of their career. Why you gotta wait until then? When you're momentum's going, that's when people really want to get to know about you.
