I want to be the player who hits home runs, drives in runs.

I'm not athletic.

I wouldn't describe myself as a home run hitter. I'm just trying to hit the ball hard in the gaps. Just backspinning baseballs and hitting line drives.

If you can do that - if you run, hit, run the bases, hit with power, field, throw and do all other things that are part of the game - then you're a good ballplayer.

I play a lot of sports. I'm not real good at any of them. I'm above adequate.

I don't try to hit home runs. I just try to meet the ball and get base hits.

When you're going into a game, you're not expected to hit a home run every game. You're just doing everything proper with proper swings.

I don't just want to be someone who hits the ball 100 per cent every time. You can play with freedom and still mix up the pace, mix up the spins and everything like that. That's what I want to be doing, because you get into that very one-dimensional kind of tennis if you don't work on slicing and coming into the net.

Every time I am not playing, I am training harder to keep myself fit.
