I don't want to be hiding from people. It would be difficult to be recognized everywhere, so that I couldn't do things ordinary people do.

My mom and dad gave me everything they could have given me.

I like to be aggressive. I like to swing the bat.

I can't change something that I've been all my life. But I can work to express myself and talk more.

My goal is to win. It doesn't matter how I do. I want to do well, but I just want the team to win.

Endure what is difficult to endure and to suffer what is difficult to suffer.

Now I have new stories and I feel refreshed. There is talk of Bobby's World eventually coming back. I would be happy to do that.

My father was slower, but he was severer than my mother, who was quick but light and irregular in discipline.

The moment where the fisherman catches the fish, happiness and agony, light and darkness, joy and death come face to face!

Keep it simple, keep it sexy, keep it sad.
