I attribute much of my success in New York to my ability to understand and avoid unnecessary distractions.

My parents always felt if I worked hard enough I could make any dream come true.

God, I hope I wear this jersey forever.

When I was younger, I was always taught not to make excuses.

If you're going to win games, you're going to have to come up with the big hits. That's the bottom line.

It doesn't feel different being here (at the All-Star Game) I feel like I'm on an All-Star team everyday.

The last thing you want to do is finish playing or doing anything and wish you would have worked harder.
