If someone made fun of me, I'd be bummed out. But I'd play it like I thought it was hilarious.

My bar mitzvah, I went to my nan's, and she made kugel.

I used to ask my mom to try and shave my head on the sides to give me a receding hairline because Adam Ant had one.

Even more than getting married or having kids, I found losing a parent is what thrusts you into adulthood. For me it was. That was when the Earth tilted on its axis, and there was a paradigm shift, and I felt like a different person.

It's fun to win and you play to win. Amazingly, when I went to spring training, the thought was to win it all. The thought has always been to win it all. So far, we've continued to win. We've won all year. But there was no thought of playing .500 or being competitive. The only thought was winning it all. It's fun.

I had always hoped to be able to play. I've always thought it would be really fun to be a D1 athlete and I'm really glad to get the opportunity.
