I think it looked like I was a little more aggressive than I was, ... I swing at bad pitches anyway, but I was swinging at even more bad pitches and missing. It looked worse. But I was thinking about [the milestone], no doubt about it.

I dedicate all my time to baseball, because when you come from where I come from, you don't want to risk anything.

I just have to come back tomorrow and try again, ... I have to look at the ball and keep swinging.

I'm not as good as I want to be.

As a ballplayer, you just want to feel respected. I like the way Washington presented the team to me and I feel good about what was being said.

I might be shy, but in the field, where I have to do my work, I do it. I let my bat speak for myself.

I want to win when the whole world is watching, ... I want to win a World Series in an Angels uniform.
