Nothing I did contributed to me having cancer, so I can't sit back and say, 'Oh why me.' Why not me? Why does tragedy always have to hit someone else?

Everyone would like to play in their hometown, but right now I like Cincinnati, I like the way it's going. I'm happy.

It takes a lot of energy to be negative. You have to work at it. But smiling is painless. I'd rather spend my energy smiling.

I'm having a good time. I'm going to treat every game and every day as if they are my last because I now know that they could be.

Never give up and don't ask why because every situation does not need an answer. I'm a firm believer that I don't worry about anything I can't control.

Just putting my uniform on keeps me going. Being able to get out there keeps me going. That's the best therapy.
