I'm a family man. I just love being around my family.

My mom and dad gave me everything they could have given me.

I like to be aggressive. I like to swing the bat.

I can't change something that I've been all my life. But I can work to express myself and talk more.

My goal is to win. It doesn't matter how I do. I want to do well, but I just want the team to win.

I learned that I have to work hard every day, that I can't get down if I get in a slump.

I pray to God to be a great player, but I want to keep my life.

I like people talking about me, about my defense or what I'm doing. I like to see that, and that makes me work hard.

Major League Baseball should retire Roberto Clemente's number, just like they did Jackie Robinson's.

I just need to come to the park every day thinking something good is going to happen to me and hoping today is going to be the day.

Now that I feel 100 percent, I'm looking forward to playing my game the way I want to-getting on base, stealing bases and trying to help the team any way I can.

Parrots make great pets. They have more personality than goldfish.

... protection of life is NOT a legitimate use for a firearm in this country sir! Not! That is expressly ruled out!

Believe, obey, fight.

Sometimes it's more difficult to do very simple, low-key films.

First of all, I don't think that America is truly prepared for a biological or a chemical attack. However, we are moving in the right direction.

Number one on my top five is Beyonce.

Alone we are smart. Together we are brilliant.

What inspires me most to write is the act of traveling.
