I don't have a lot of pressure on myself to be successful. I'm more of an artist. I just try to make myself more a part of the most beautiful painting as possible. And enjoy it.

I don't want to die, but I'm ok putting it all out there for the most beautiful expression of my life.

Bad girl, drunk by six, kissing someone else's lips. Smoked to many cigarettes today, I'm not happy when I act this way.

I enjoy every bit of baseball I can get.
