I like to dance and sing when there's no one around, but, if I'm out, I'm really shy about it. So it takes a lot to get me going, but I enjoy being around music.

The guy's (Shane Spencer) ridiculous. No one hits home runs like that. I'm telling you, man, it's ridiculous.

So is work ethic. You do things over and over again, and when you get in a situation you like to think it comes natural. I think there has to be a mind-set that you’re not afraid to fail. I’m not afraid to fail. I’ve done it quite a bit. The calmer you are, the more the game slows down for you, and I think part of that is controlling your emotions.

It doesn't take any talent to play hard.

I never think about my own stats, as long as I'm contributing to the team.

The only legacy I want is to be thought of as a winner.

It took him 75 steps to get from third to home. I thought we were going to have to go out there and help him. A lot of players start thinking double then maybe wind up with a triple because the outfielder slips.

My best vacation is somewhere I could hide, somewhere warm and not a lot of people around.

I can see how people work out to feel better.

I get nervous watching teammates. I get nervous for them. Late in the game, pressure situation, I'm nervous for them.

You can't be sensitive, because you're going to get criticized. I don't care who you are, you're going to get criticized.

I love it when people doubt me. It makes me work harder to prove them wrong.
