I'm a guy that people look at me not only as a guy that hit the ball.

You can never fall in love with a team.

My timing’s a little off. But I’m about to get hotter than Jamaica in the middle of August.

Life is a challenge that you need. There's things in life that are going to throw you into the ground, but if you learn how to get up, that means you are not a quitter.

Everybody has something to prove each year. Everybody has a responsibility in this game. Even the batboy.

Guilty as charged. We are very much supportive of the family - the biblical definition of the family unit.

You can't imagine what a pleasure this complete laziness is to me: not a thought in my brain- you might send a ball rolling through it!

Everyone should have the right to marry. To make a commitment to love someone forever is a beautiful thing.
