I try to run on the hottest days, at the hottest time, because that's the most difficult time. And sometimes I worry about drying out, and dying.

God's been very good to me. I'm truly blessed.

If you forget your roots, you've lost sight of everything

If you could go back and change things, you might not be the person you are right now.

I want to be remembered as the guy who gave his all whenever he was on the field.

You look at a Pete Rose to be the terrific athlete he is and then he falls on hard times, but when he played the game, I got something from the way he played the game because he hustled every play, and just because he had one mistake in his life, am I supposed to throw back everything that I gained from him?

If I'm going to get hit, why let the guy who's going to hit me get the easiest and best shot? I explode into the guy who's trying to tackle me.
