I'm the same guy I've always been. I'm the same guy now as when I was hitting 50 home runs. I don't change.

My timing’s a little off. But I’m about to get hotter than Jamaica in the middle of August.

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

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.

I showed people that it's not about guessing what people can do. It's about saying, 'Here, show me what you can do.'

My mom, she wasn't like a baseball mother who knew everything about the game. She just wanted me to be happy with what I was doing.

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