Everybody has something to prove each year. Everybody has a responsibility in this game. Even the batboy.

I swing hard all the time. That's what I've done my whole life - hit.

You just have to go as far as you can go. Everyone works his way up.

I just love the feeling from the fans and when I'm walking on deck I can hear people screaming and wishing you the best. That puts you into the game more than anything.

All I like to do is work every day and have an idea what I want to do.

I showed people that it's not about guessing what people can do. It's about saying, 'Here, show me what you can do.'

Everybody has something to prove each year. Everybody has a responsibility in this game. Even the batboy.

Through the years I've been getting better and better and better, and it's what you learn though the seasons.

I come to play everyday.

A lot of people write books not at the end of their career. Why you gotta wait until then? When you're momentum's going, that's when people really want to get to know about you.

I just come do what I've got to do, play my game. And I don't worry if anybody likes it.

I just want to play baseball.

I stress a lot, sometimes.

I try to be as quiet as I can at the plate, but still aggressive.

I try to do things the right way.

I'm a winner, I play to win, I want to make good things go on around me.

I'm the kind of guy that I never forget my teammates.

I'm the same guy I've always been. I'm the same guy now as when I was hitting 50 home runs. I don't change.

My mom, she wasn't like a baseball mother who knew everything about the game. She just wanted me to be happy with what I was doing.

My mom, she's still always there for me. Always.

My teammates are the best.

My whole career, my swing has always been the most important thing to me. Even when I'm taking a shower, I work on my swing.

Negativity doesn't help me.

Sometimes when you're fighting, fighting, fighting, the mind needs some time off and you regroup and get back to normal.

Sometimes you just don't feel the same everyday, it doesn't matter what you do, but when you have people looking forward to seeing you perform for them, that puts you in the mood, and that's natural in Boston. That's why it's such a special place to play.

The fans know that I don't give at-bats away.

Trust me, I play the game for the fans, my family and myself.

What I don't want to do is just play for the sake of playing.

You don't get better as you get older in your career. It's not natural to have your best years late in your career. So I'm trying to do whatever I can to keep my body feeling good for as long as I can.

The productivity of work is not the responsibility of the worker but of the manager.

I couldn't be happier about being a part of 'Hunger Games' and to play Katniss. I have a huge responsibility to the fans of this incredible book and I don't take it lightly. I will give everything I have to these movies and to this role to make it worthy of Suzanne Collins' masterpiece.

I'm into the idea of responsibility and edification and these things have found me and I have found them. I wanted to be in the movie and I made it known to Mike.
