You have to respectfully listen to advice.

If you want to walk me, walk me. But if I see something close to home plate, I want to swing.

I don't want to just be the best player. I want to be a great person, too.

We have the great fans in Detroit. We've got a great ballpark, great stadium.

I'm the kind of guy who, if I look inside and they throw me a fastball outside, and it's a strike, I'm going to swing. Everything in the strike zone, I'm going to swing. Doesn't matter if it's a fastball, changeup, breaking ball. If it's in the strike zone and it's something you like, you've got to swing.
