I did everything I could to win every time I was handed the ball.

The secret to my success is that I bit off more than I could chew and chewed as fast as I could.

A cricket ball broke my nose when I was a kid so I couldn't breath through it. Before I had it operated on I used to stand on stage with my mouth slightly open.

I'm always running my mouth off and getting myself in trouble, so I'm trying to do it less.

With my mask, I controlled all of the mouth movements with my own mouth.

Now, I know you expected me to say that, well, I just kick back in the rocking chair, fished a little bit, listened to Willie Nelson tapes and watched old baseball games on the Classic Sports network. And, tell you the truth, I have done that for maybe about five total minutes.

But through experience I learned to control my body and locate the ball.

When something really grabs me, I dive into it.

I'm the kind of person that if I try to throw it hard, it doesn't come out as good. So my whole thought process is to stay smooth, stay on top of the ball, and just get my hand out in front.

If somebody wants me to do something I've never done, I can do it more easily because of all of the years of sports I've played.
