In the future, I want to be consistent from Day 1. We're still making adjustments. I still believe that I can be better.

It's a great feeling for me just to put my uniform on and be part of my team.

I just wanted to be like my dad, Jesus. He was a good shortstop.

I don't talk. I just let what I do talk for myself.

I just go out there and do what I do and try and hit my spots.

I have to drink a lot of fluids, try not to dehydrate, and keep stretching.

Dreams can come true, but you have to go for it.

I'm never more courageous than when I'm embracing imperfection, embracing vulnerabilities, and setting boundaries with the people in my life.

I live in Portland now. It's beautiful from day one. The Food and the beer, and no sales tax. Get your iPad while you're here.

Bass is for people who can't play guitar

I paint for myself. I don't know how to do anything else, anyway. Also I have to earn my living, and occupy myself.

The midwife of history is violence.

In the face of life’s difficulties, let us ask the Lord for the strength to remain joyful witnesses to our faith.

Cooking is revolution and creation.

I love wearing the uniform.
