I always took my workouts serious because I have a football background. I came from football, so when I got to baseball, I continued my football workouts in the offseason.

As you get older, it gets harder to get rid of that belly but I do a lot of cardio to try to stay in shape.

I always try to overachieve. I feel I have something to prove every day.

The Big Hurt describes me perfectly-not as a person, but as a player. It's what I do to a baseball.

I take a lot of pitches. Some guys hate to do that.

Observe Everything. Communicate Well. Draw, Draw, Draw.

I'm not cocky. But I'm very confident.

I just don't feel like I'm old. I still feel like I've got a lot of years, a lot to give in this game, and I'm able to do it because I love to work.

My focus is on a ring, and giving the best individual performance I can.

As you get old, you live and learn.

I just have to be myself, and not worry about everyone looking at me and watching.

Holy One is a flame.

Personal experience is the slowest way of learning. Combine your personal experience with other people’s experiences.

Work is the only thing that gives substance to life.

In action be primitive; in foresight, a strategist.

What oxygen is to the lungs, such is hope to the meaning of life.

We would be happier with what we have if we weren't so unhappy about what we don't' have

The rush of power to the head is not as becoming as a new hat

Honestly, I'm not listening to much of what's going on today.

Every love song I write is for Linda.

A lot of brainless unicorns swaggering about and calling themselves educated just because they can push each other off a horse with a bit of a stick! It makes me tired.
