You play for the team, you don't play for the fans.

I love taking hits away from guys and seeing their reaction.

Every year I try to make adjustments and learn.

I know what my job is. I know what I've got to do. I've got to keep getting better.

My dad taught me how to play. He was a great amateur player in Curacao.

My focus is to stay up the middle. If I'm a little early I'll hit it to left, if I'm a little late, I'll hit it to right.

Injuries are injuries, everybody has them. You play with it. I don't make excuses.

I just have to prove to myself, I don't have to prove to fans.

People think the leadoff spot is a big deal. I tell people you're going to lead off the first inning, and after that, you can be a No. 4 hitter or No. 3 hitter.

I just go out there and try to help my teammates any way I can. They are on me a lot to be in the lineup and do stuff for the team, but sometimes it's just...frustrating.

I want to be more consistent. I wanna get hits. I wanna get my average back up where people think I can hit.

Don’t allow the challenges to overpower you. Choose a positive attitude and persistent endurance over defeat.

What will happen if you can travel in somebody's memories??To see did he done this crime, who kill this woman, or this man, what he has done, what he is planning what happen then if we know this??

Do not go by my humble beginnings. Be wary of my enormous vision.

Failure is a disappointment but not defeat.

There are a lot of things that fit on a bumper sticker in terms of either liberty or equality or progress that when made more concrete just don't pan out.

We are our choices. Build yourself a great story.

I don't want to be a hero, I don't want to ever let you down.

It was worth it. You looked... happy.

If children could, if adults knew.

I may command where I adore.
