I trust no one - that microphone, that book.

You learn from the things that happen in your career. You get up and down. You never give up. All the things that happened in my career, thank God it happened early rather than late in my career.

What really matters is who you are when you step on the field, and I will let my bat and my glove speak for themselves.

I don't worry about numbers. I worry about wins. You can see all the years that my numbers went down and how many championships I've got. That's what I worry about.

I don't pay attention to the media. You guys can say whatever you want. At the end of the day, at the end of the season, if we're doing well, you guys are going to be there.

I just do my work, try to do everything I can. I don't weigh in all offseason. I just try to get better, be in better position, be an athlete.
