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.

Defense usually doesn't make many headlines, but it goes a long way towards winning baseball games. There are a number of ways to make an impact during the course of a game, and playing solid, sound defense is one of them.

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.

The big difference for me is that, as I get older, I find it's a lot easier to stay in shape than it is to get back in shape.

When it was time for parent-teacher conferences, I remember that I was always embarrassed about what my parents would hear about me!

If I put my name on something, I'm going to be involved. I'm not just going to put my name on it and not pay attention.

I looked up to my parents because they were very successful in what they wanted to do. I was lucky; I didn't have to look far for role models.
