It's like most anything. If you want to be a loser, there's always a way to dwell on the negative. If you want to win, there's always a way to think positively.

To me, there is no more conscientious umpire in the Major Leagues than Jim Joyce. He gives you a hellacious effort every time.

The best way to win is to play well early or late in the game. The middle part tends to take care of itself.

Pressure comes when someone calls on you to perform a task for which you are unprepared.

There are always distractions, if you allow them.

I'm careful not to give into theatrics when times are tough, I don't like it when somebody gives into outside pressure and puts on a show for others.

You can be stupid once, but idiotic to do it again. I'll settle for being stupid.
