I want to win a World Series. I couldn't care less about MVP.

When it’s all said and done, I want to be able to say I got the most out of my potential. I don’t want to look back, however many years from now, and say, ‘I wonder if I would have worked a little harder. I wonder if I would have done this or done that, how things would have turned out.’ I want to, when it’s all said and done, be able to put my head on my pillow and say, ‘I did everything I could do — good or bad.’

I'm very confident in what I do, but I'd like to think I don't ever show any kind of cockiness or overconfidence.

As soon as baseball becomes a job, as soon as I stop caring, as soon as the smile goes away, I'll hang up my spikes and do something else.

To me, the fun part of hitting is the thinking part. It's the game within the game.

When you don't win I think you have to evaluate everybody.
