I learned early in my life that sometimes I'm going to lose. I don't like it, but I accept it, meaning that I understand it's going to happen. But I don't see it like defeat; I see it like a learning process. Then if there's nothing to learn, I move on.

I want to give my respect, glory and time to the Bible - to the word of God - just as I want to give my respect and time to my work.

I see the hitter when he's moved in the box, like when he's moved closer to the plate or changed his stance. I see when the batter has moved his feet, and then I make my own adjustment.

I always take time for somebody who wants to talk to me.

Don't worry about what the people say; be yourself, say what you want to say WITH respect.

I don't feel invincible because I'm human.

I miss everything that makes up Panama. I don't have a preference. I love my country.
