When I play videogames I'm trying to go deep every pitch. I'm definitely not going to try to do that in real life. In the (video)game I'm trying to leave the yard.

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

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.

Just because somebody swings one way and I swing another way doesn't mean he's better than me or I'm better than him ... Does my swing get hits? Yes.

I just try to see the ball and hit it. If I get a hit, I get a hit. If I get out, I get out. There's no secret about it.

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