I doubt that I will get involved with politics. That's something I don't have in me.

I'm open to play for anybody that would give me respect, treat me the right way, and actually going to make me feel comfortable.

I believe I have a responsibility that goes along with the money I make. I can help a lot of people.

I believe that if you're healthy, you're capable of doing everything. There's no one else who can give you health but God, and by being healthy I believe that God is listening to me.

All I can say is, I will put my heart and soul into helping the Red Sox win.

None of the teams that actually probably were offering me a job from the getgo, actually in spring training, are in the playoffs right now.

Actually the adrenaline of the game will probably help me out a little bit to regain command and concentration about the things that I have to do.
