Negativity Doesn't Help Me.

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.

I Don't Try To Hit The Ball 500 Feet. It Looks Good When You Hit It 500 Feet, But As Long As It Goes Over The Fence, It's A Home Run. When You Swing Hard, It Takes A Little Bit Of Recognition Away From You. The Power You're Trying To Increase - You're Not All The Way Through It With Your Vision.

What I Don't Want To Do Is Just Play For The Sake Of Playing.

I've Always Been My Own Hitting Coach.

I Just Swing Hard In Case I Hit It -- That's It.
