People always ask me if I wish I were bigger. I tell them no. I always wanted to be a miniature badass.

I go out and break my leg next year and can't play ever again, I got 40 million dollars. Nothing's guaranteed in this world, except that 40 million dollars.

Next year I want to be better than this season, and the year after that, better than the year before.

I put the blinders on and just work as hard as I can, and hopefully I'll just continue to be a better player.

I don't like losing at anything. Why should I?

I hope to play for the Red Sox a long time.

I'm going to go out there and be who I am, and if you don't like it, then watch somebody else.
