As a kid, I had this ultimate goal to be a teacher. I wanted to be a history teacher like my dad.

I just keep thinking about putting up good numbers, playing hard and winning games.

You surprise yourself on some balls off the bat. You don't think you have a chance to catch it. And then your natural ability just takes over.

Technology is ruled by two types of people: those who manage what they do not understand, and those who understand what they do not manage.

The first couple of years in the minors were tough for me. My numbers were there, but being away from home so young was tough.

I always dreamed of making it in baseball, but life has moved pretty quickly for me.

I think people keep baseballs in their cars, just to be prepared in case they see me. It's cool to get recognized in public; it's an incredible feeling.

I was always told that if people don't want a picture with you, or they don't want an autograph from you, that doesn't mean you're not doing anything good.

As I get older every year, I'm eating better. As a kid, who can turn down chips and candy? But I'm getting better.

No curfew. I live in the basement. I got everything I need. Home cooking ... it's awesome.

Growing up, I was such a picky eater. I'm finally starting to expand.

The secret of being a bore is to tell everything.

Sometimes it gets talked about as if life is all about the individual, and I don't think it is. I'm really interested in what writing can contribute to a kind of cultural intelligence.

Our unconscious is not more animal than our conscious, it is often even more human

Hope gives the heart wings; the soul, an anchor.

I enjoyed my time in Utah. It was a different area to what I was used to. The people there were very nice and it was a great organization and city. I have only good things to say about Utah.

I drink Vitamin Water nonstop - I should have an IV.

If you cast wrong, you are in a lot of trouble.

A pair of socks is no less suitable to make a painting with than wood, nails, turpentine, oil and fabric.

I do like to hang out in the corner and keep my eye on the party, or be outside in a smaller group.

Pacifists are like sheep who believe that wolves are vegetarians.
