Whether I'm down or whether things are great, I try to stay the same person all the time.

I'd rather save a home run than hit one. I've always been like that. Defense is what I pride myself on.

People see dark faces out there, and the perception is that they're African American. They're not us. They're impostors.

My mother made sure we stayed involved in the church and the things of God. My relationship with Christ came about through that and the influences of my mother and grandmother helped my faith to grow.

When I see that little white ball go up, I want to catch it, no matter what. If I have to knock myself silly doing it, so be it.

I was trying my best to just stop that ball from going over the fence, I'd sacrifice my body if I have to. I've done that my whole career.

I love the Twins, ... I bleed the Twins. That's all I know. If I go anywhere else, I'd be a foreigner.
