I didn't go up to the plate thinking, 'OK, my goal now is to get a hit'-I tried not to think about [the streak].

I know it sounds stupid and cliche, but I just want to get better. I want to keep improving.

Hitting at the top of the order is a good thing. You get more at-bats. I'm excited to see how this develops.

I've always been taught to play the game hard. Baseball is such a tough game, it really humbles you at times, you just have to try not to get too high or too low.

I figured out that there are occasions where you have to get pumped up and take charge, situations where you have to have fun and situations where you need to settle down.

I never knew I was a surrealist till Andre Breton came to Mexico and told me I was.

What's so brave about being bald? I've not fought for my country or found the cure for cancer - I've just gone out without my hat on!

After being called cherubic and chubby, I'm rocking a bikini!

The games industry is the only industry with the tools and the talent to create real-time immersive 3D environments.
