I come to play everyday.

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.

Some people think I'm mean, until they get to know me.

I'm going to be done when I've decided that I'm done.

You don't get better as you get older in your career. It's not natural to have your best years late in your career. So I'm trying to do whatever I can to keep my body feeling good for as long as I can.

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

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.
