You've got to set high standards for yourself.

You can't listen to what people say about you. If you do, you're never going to get anywhere in life.

It's not worth it. We're going all the way to Halloween. You can get him then.

The last few weeks we had been playing poorly, but hopefully we can ride this all the way through Halloween.

I've seen plenty of ballplayers way better than me, but they didn't have the work ethic. It comes down to how bad you want it.

All I know is that when I come to the ballpark I'm going to be on time and give 100 percent. I know that I have to do that to keep my job.

I like to have fun, and the only way to have fun is to win.
