People now are beginning to cheer for me. I've never heard that before. .. Maybe things are turning a bit.

I'm a terrible singer. I feel lucky to play baseball. You can't be gifted in everything.

Enjoy your sweat because hard work doesn't guarantee success, but without it you don't have a chance.

Always follow your dreams, don't let anyone tell you that you can't be something.

Be respectful. Treat people the way you want to be treated. Respect the lowest rank and the highest rank and you'll never get in trouble.

Fear of failure is what fuels me, keeps me on edge and sharp. I'm not as good when I'm comfortable.

I believe a champion wins in his mind first, then plays the game, not the other way around.

I want to be known as Dominican-that's what I am, 100 percent ... I have a duty and responsibility to continue the legacy of Dominicans in baseball.

There is a difference between image and reputation. Image is nice. Reputation is developed over an entire career. Reputation is what I'm searching for.

You can have fun, respect the game and also play it hard. When you have that combination, you're going to put yourself in a position to be successful.

Some things are meant to be and if it was, you will know it.

War is progress, peace is stagnation

A good director creates an environment, which gives the actor the encouragement to fly.

I've never really dreamed of owning a home. I don't think you go into the arts and also dream of owning a home.

Right now you are in a completely different reality than you were 10 seconds ago.

I think I definitely enjoy recording, but I think it's more fun to go out and perform live, because it's like instant gratification, you know? You feel the response immediately.

Believe you receive in the faith realm, and you shall have it in the natural realm.

Bravery and courage is walking into pain and knowing that something better is on the other side

To love is simply to allow another to be, live, grow, expand, become. An appreciation that demands and expects nothing in return.

Why, after all, must everyone like music? That they are missing something is just the lover's opinion.

Remember, each one of us has the power to change the world. Just start thinking peace, and the message will spread quicker than you think.
