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.

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

I'm the kind of a player who, if you give me something good to hit, I'm going to swing at it. Otherwise, there's nothing else you can do.

I know in my situation, my mind works more than everything else. I've been like that my whole career.

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

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 an easy person to get along with. Even when I struggle, I have the same attitude.
