I love the way people talk crap. I hear it all the time. 'Overrated.' 'You suck.' I'll just do something to shut them up, like, 'I'll show you.'

My dad, he worked rebar, an ironworker. Watching my pops get up every single morning, going into work, working hard - I think that really made me want to work that hard, wanted to make me get up early...

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.

I've always talked to the media. I'm pretty respectful to the media.

D.C. fans, I think, are so good. They just come up to me, and they're so nice and so polite and just, 'Hey, I hope you have a great career,' and 'How are you doing, everything's good?' That's pretty...

I'm not trying to fit in with nobody. I'm just me.

I think I play center field better than I do anywhere else. I have enough speed and enough reaction to know where the ball goes off the bat.

I love being around my family.

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

I want my teammates to know I have their backs.
