I like to dance and sing when there's no one around, but, if I'm out, I'm really shy about it. So it takes a lot to get me going, but I enjoy being around music.

You're playing a game, whether it's Little League or Game 7 of the Word Series. It's impossible to do well unless you're having a good time. People talk about pressure. Yeah, there's pressure. But I just look at it as fun.

Everyone fears rejection.

During the offseason, I go to the movies almost every day. You hear about women buying shoes? I buy DVDs. I definitely have a problem.

It's never over. You don't want to be in the position to be down four runs in the ninth inning, but it's not over until the last out.

I go into every game thinking I'm going to be the hero. I have to, or I wouldn't enjoy it.

I'm not one to sit around and be satisfied about something. I can always get better.
