A winner is somebody who goes out there every day and exhausts himself trying to get something accomplished.

You could have the bases loaded, and you bring up the best pinch-hitter in the world to pinch hit, he hits into a double play, and then all of a sudden: 'How could you do that?'

I think that winning creates chemistry, as opposed to other way around. I've been on a lot of friendly teams that couldn't win, trust me.

I just don't like to dwell on stuff.

Sometimes they say the world rotates a little different for lefthanders.

When I was coming home from school as a youngster, and I saw my dad's car in the driveway, I would go to a friend's house. I connected my dad being there with fear.

If you do the best you can, you never have to look back.
