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

I think when things linger, that's when they become a distraction. I don't want any distractions.

Sneak out when things go good. It bothers me when people have good games and stand in front of their locker waiting for the media, then they have bad games and sneak out the back.

I think everyone is ticklish. You just gotta find the right spots.

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

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.

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