There have been some ups and downs, but I'm happy that I've stayed fairly consistent.

I constantly try to humble myself; if you don't, I'm sure the game is going to find a way to humble you.

When you're a first-round pick and you get to the big leagues at 22, there's almost a sense that you've got to mature.

I like to set realistic goals for myself, not outrageous ones.

I spent a lot of hours on the baseball field doing whatever I could do to get better.

I definitely think with a lot of hard work, I can be a better player than I was last year, and hopefully, continue to raise the bar every year.

I'll try to turn the other cheek....But I've only got two and they're both stinging.

Next time I will ...""From now on I will ..."- What makes me think I am wiser today than I will be tomorrow?

We can be more or less conscious when you create grades of focus on a subject that is flowing in our stream of consciousness.

I love 'Last Friday Night' by Katy Perry almost as much as 'Karma Police', and if you want to straddle that line, you have to take the slings and arrows.

The best thing in life aren't things.

The way you discover your gifts is really by serving not by searching.

To fly up to the sky and watch the earth is beautiful; to fly down to the earth and watch the sky is even more beautiful!

While poverty persists, there is no true freedom.

Frying pans! Who knew, right?
