There are days when you have tag matches, but you need to prepare for your next singles match on that same day.

Winning the title is an important detail to the story, but how you get there is much more important.

What true 'Strong Style' really is, is the battle of the heart of man. It's not about how strong and how forceful you're throwing your blows. It's showing the never-say-die attitude of the human spirit. As long as it looks like you're fighting and giving your all, people will believe.

Part of what makes my character work is the delivery of the truth behind my comments.

I loved Japanese culture before even realizing it was, in fact, Japanese culture. The cartoons and anime I was watching as a child, my favorite video games, and even in pro wrestling - my favorite wrestlers and matches originated in Japan.

New Day rocks. I can't lie.

My dreams are bigger than money; they're bigger than fame.

I'll never be that guy who's going to yell and scream at people.

If you hit .200 and you win or .300 and you win, it's all the same. Just so you win.

I like to see my name in the box score.

I want to be the best player I can be.

Hard work doesn't start during the game. Hard work starts the night before.

I've always wanted to be on a winning team, be competitive and have something to shoot for in October. It's never been a money situation.

I'm lucky. I got a chance to play major-league baseball.

I just mind my business and do what I have to do to get ready for the baseball season.

I go out there every day, take early batting practice, fly balls.

Kids always think about being the MVP.

All my life in professional baseball, people said 'He could be better.'

Father and son games - that was the best day. We'd be dressed at 6 o'clock in the morning. The game would be at 7 o'clock at night... And we'd play at, like, 5.

I may not hit 50, 40 or 30 home runs, but I can do the little things like moving runners over that don't show up in the box score.

There's certain people that you owe it to, for the things they've done for you.

You can't sensationalize a story that is a heartfelt story.

I know if I do something wrong, it's going to be all over the news.

Anybody can be a dad. I just want to be a good parent. I want to be a dad that my kids can talk to. I want to have a relationship with them.
