Don't worry about what the people say; be yourself, say what you want to say WITH respect.

Everything starts with God in my career, and it will finish with God.

My father was strict and always taught me, no matter who it is, everybody is an uncle. To me, everybody was someone I respect like family. I grew up with that.

My father is the man that, he will give you what he doesn't have, still. If he has 10 bucks and you need 10 bucks because you're sick or you don't have nothing to eat, he will give you 10 bucks. He will be at zero, but he will help you. That's the kind of man that my father is.

You can't second-guess baseball. You can't second-guess yourself.

I don't wait for people to give me respect. I always give them respect.
