I enjoy sports movies that don't sugarcoat. One thing that irritates me about sports movies is that they're like, 'The magic of the ball,' and 'The magic of the stadium.' It ain't that magical. When you get hit coming across the middle at 25 miles per hour, the magic's over.

To be a good hitter you've got to do one thing - get a good ball to hit.

The thing that you think is imperfect about you is the thing that makes you who you are. It separates you from everybody else. I have a scar on my lip, and for years I hated it. But now its become my thing. It's like, without it, I'm not me. You can't be perfect, so enjoy your imperfections. I can't stress that enough.

I'm like a rocket - I go a hundred miles per hour.

You go from zero miles per hour to 18,000 miles per hour in 8 1/2 minutes. So, it is the most dynamic ride.

When you're young, you don't know what you don't know, so it's easier to get into that magical thing.
