I'm not a racist.

I don't like controversy.

Make yourself comfortable in everything you do.

I don't want to get fat.

When you’re in the middle of a pennant race, you can’t go up there thinking about home runs.

I will calmly wait for my induction to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Don’t I have the numbers to be inducted?

Mark McGwire is thirty-four years old. I’m twenty-nine. He’s probably a little bit tired and I’m just having some fun.

It’s going to be unbelievable, you know. There’s going to be a lot of people cheering for Mark McGwire and me. And, hey, we’ll see how it goes.

To tell the truth, I never think about a homer. I’m just thinking of the situation and what I’ve got to do when I go to the plate.

Right now what’s in my mind is going up there and being disciplined. I was swinging at so many pitches out of the strike zone, and when you do that, you’re not going to get a chance to hit strikes. It makes it easier for the pitcher every time I do that.
