People, man, they love hurting people. It's not even fair.

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.

I just come do what I've got to do, play my game. And I don't worry if anybody likes it.

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.

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.

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

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.
