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

I'm a guy that people look at me not only as a guy that hit the ball.

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.

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

I guess the rules aren't for everyone.

I'm not thinking home run, I just want to put a good swing on the ball. When you go looking for home runs, you get off of your swing. So you don't think of homers when you go up to the plate.

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