In my opinion I really haven't done anything yet. I still have a lot to prove. I just want to prove to myself that I can play at the highest level of baseball in the world every day.

I'm a realist. And realists don't fool themselves.

Hey, I'm serious here? Why do you have to ask me how many hits I have?

Cincinnati needs to take notes from Houston. Houston fans are among the top five fans in the game.

Cincinnati is perfect for me. I've met a lot of good people there who like to fish.

My Gran said put a thimble on your finger and it helps you in case you slip with the needle and it goes up, into the brain, and death.

It's difficult to make any kind of action movie that might be unique or worth watching.

Africans didn't want saving, thank you very much, least of all not by me.
