You try to do your best at what you're getting paid for.

I work through teams. It's the only way I know how to work.

I played professional level sports. When you're playing for money, it's a whole other level.

You can learn more from the lows than the highs. The highs are great but the lows make you really look at things in a different way and want to improve. Every player will have both in their careers and I have, but what you get is that experience which is so important to perform at your best.

I came into the game when I broke into the major leagues, the minimum salary was seven thousand dollars, and I'd have to go home in the wintertime and get a job.

I want to be on a successful team, and I know that paying one or two or three players premium hurts your chances of being able to bring in extra talent.

I don't get paid like a person that everyone knows, but I get paid so much more in so many ways.

This sport gives you the highest highs and the lowest lows.

I believe a lot of players that start to think about money - 'Oh my goodness; I'm up for a new contract' - they don't have a great season because they're thinking about all these different things. Do your business on the field, and everything takes care of itself.

Many players want to make as much money as they can and change teams for ten grand. How is that going to make much difference to their lives?
