I heard that in the United States the level of baseball was the highest in the world. So it was only natural that I would want to go there, as a baseball player.

I had a dream. And I made that dream come true.

If I ever saw myself saying I'm excited going to Cleveland, I'd punch myself in the face, because I'm lying.

When people get placed upon a pedestal - when they start chasing after that person on the pedestal - they become mannequin-like.

August in Kansas City is hotter than two rats f**king in a sock.

I wanted the challenge of competing against the best players in the world.

If I'm in a slump, I ask myself for advice.
