The College World Series, that's the end-all deal as a college player. To get a chance to play in the World Series and win it, that was surreal.

I think it's awesome. I miss it so much. That ocean has something on me.

Playing third base, you rarely have time to get into a great fielding position. It's all about reaction.

I hope I can always be counted on to get a hit or get a guy in-to be an even keel in the lineup.

I love a hard-hit ball, a diving-play situation where you realize afterward there was no thinking involved. It was 100 percent reaction.

I've always been counted out. I've always had people believing I didn't belong. I think that has made me work a little harder.

I'm not worrying about my mechanics-and that's a fun feeling. It's nice to be confident and not worry about where my hands and feet are.

I don't know if people know how hard it is to get a hit or how hard it is to field a ground ball. It's an easy game in principal, but to actually execute the game it's very difficult.

The objector and the rebel who raises his voice against what he believes to be the injustice of the present and the wrongs of the past is the one who hunches the world along.

Psychologists really aim to be scientists, white-coat stuff, with elaborate statistics, running experiments.

I enjoy hard work, I love setting goals and achieving them.

I'm an adaptable nomad. I love Paris, I've been living in Los Angeles and New York since 1990. I love London, too. My roots are inside of me.

To love what you do and feel that it matters - how could anything be more fun?

When I talk of hearing a poet's voice speaking, I always think of it as in the presence of the man.

Ted Cruz will point Americans back to the principles established by our Constitution enabling you to live free.
