When I hit the ball, I do want to hurt it.

Playing football, I'm getting chills just thinking about it. That first knock of the game, you are going on kickoff, and you are just trying to smack somebody just as hard as you can. That's how I play baseball. I want to hit you.

I want my teammates to know I have their backs.

When you hit a three-run triple, do you really need to get on third base, or do you need to stand on the double? You gotta be as smart as you can.

I think you have to be respectful to the people who want to talk to you.

You don't ever want to go out there and not be the best. You want to be the best cop that you can. Be the best writer you can be. Everybody has their goals. Everybody has their dreams.
