I think the body responds to more reps better than heavier weight. As long as I got those reps in three or four sets, it didn't bother me and I could come down on the weight. Teams didn't want me to do it as much, but that's just the way it is.
As you get older, it gets harder to get rid of that belly but I do a lot of cardio to try to stay in shape.
I'm not cocky. But I'm very confident.
My maturity level is rising. I think there are certain situations that I'm handling better than in the past.
I take a lot of pitches. Some guys hate to do that.
I just have to be myself, and not worry about everyone looking at me and watching.
My focus is on a ring, and giving the best individual performance I can.
I just don't feel like I'm old. I still feel like I've got a lot of years, a lot to give in this game, and I'm able to do it because I love to work.
A lot of guys are free swingers, but I'm up there looking for a specific pitch.
Money doesn't motivate, but stats do.
As you get old, you live and learn.
I always try to overachieve. I feel I have something to prove every day.
The Big Hurt describes me perfectly-not as a person, but as a player. It's what I do to a baseball.
Observe Everything. Communicate Well. Draw, Draw, Draw.
