I kinda miss having Miss USA around.

I love catching, being involved in every pitch of the game, obviously it beats you up both mentally and physically.

I'm not as cool as I'm supposed to be.

When things are said and done, I always want to be remembered as a great teammate and a great player.

I have a few goals that I kind of keep to myself.

I want to be back behind the plate as long as I can. I can help the team that way, and I like being in control and in charge.

It frustrates me if I'm not good at something, so I do it until I get good at it.

I'm looking to get better, and anything that will help me accomplish that, I'm all ears.

As you get older, you learn there are some things out of your control.

It was always baseball for me. This is what I always wanted to do.

I always said I wanted to be the best at what I could do. I feel like I can improve.

I was born when you kissed me. I died when you left me. I lived a few weeks while you loved me.

Some of the most radiant Christians I have ever met were “wheelchair” saints. May God give you grace to “triumph in affliction.

Doug Larson, the famous runner and 1924 Olympic Gold Medal winner, said it best 'Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon.

I'll always take an artistic endeavor over a career move.

Teams can't prepare for me in batting practice. They can't find anyone who throws as slow as I do.

If you don’t sign up your kids for cryonics then you are a lousy parent.

Focus on your work. Be the best you that you can be. Develop a thick skin and let things roll off your back. And keep a sense of humor!

This strong sense of who I am that I've always had, since I was very young, is what makes me write.

There is no belittling worse than to over praise a man.

Every now and then, I feel terribly uncomfortable with what I'm working on, and then I think maybe I am an artist. I'm not very articulate about it, but I do know that you have to follow your gut.
