When you put a lot of hard work into one goal and you achieve it, that's a really good feeling.

I always try to take from past performances. You never try to get too high or too low. Just play every game, just treat every game like it's the same.

Obviously, you're known for what you do. But you still want to be known as a good person. You're a person a lot longer before and after you're a professional athlete.

I just think that your private life is private. What I do is obviously public, I get that. I get the fact that people are interested. I'm interested in a lot of people as well. I've just chosen to stay as private as possible.

My dad had been shortstop when he was in college, and you know, when you're a kid, you want to be just like your dad.

Surround yourself with good people. People who are going to be honest with you and look out for your best interests.

I'm not perfect; no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes.
