All I like to do is work every day and have an idea what I want to do.
Everybody has something to prove each year. Everybody has a responsibility in this game. Even the batboy.
I never thought that buying supplements and vitamins, it was going to hurt anybody's feelings.
People, man, they love hurting people. It's not even fair.
The fans know that I don't give at-bats away.
I'm going to be done when I've decided that I'm done.
I stress a lot, sometimes.
My teammates are the best.
I'm the kind of guy that I never forget my teammates.
You don't get better as you get older in your career. It's not natural to have your best years late in your career. So I'm trying to do whatever I can to keep my body feeling good for as long as I can.
What I don't want to do is just play for the sake of playing.
If I can't hit at a high level, I won't play, and I know there comes a point where my body won't be able to do that.
I just want to play baseball.
I've always been my own hitting coach.
You can't say that being a fan is more serious, because players are trying to do better in order to get paid better.
You can never fall in love with a team.
Whatever country you go to, you need to definitely follow the rules. So I believe it's very important for people, wherever they go, any immigrant should know or should try to learn something about the culture.
I'm the same guy I've always been. I'm the same guy now as when I was hitting 50 home runs. I don't change.
I know in my situation, my mind works more than everything else. I've been like that my whole career.
I start thinking about life after death. I've got to quit thinking about it because it's very deep. Very deep. Sometimes you start thinking about it, and you don't feel like you want to be alive, so I don't like to get all quiet.
