Through the years I've been getting better and better and better, and it's what you learn though the seasons.

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

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

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.

Sometimes when you're fighting, fighting, fighting, the mind needs some time off and you regroup and get back to normal.

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.

Life is a challenge that you need. There's things in life that are going to throw you into the ground, but if you learn how to get up, that means you are not a quitter.
