• The only time I really try for a strikeout is when I'm in a jam. If the bases are loaded with none out, for example, then I'll go for a strikeout. But most of the time I try to throw to spots. I try to get them to pop up or ground out. On a strikeout I might have to throw five or six pitches, sometimes more if there are foul-offs. That tires me. So I just try to get outs. That's what counts - outs. You win with outs, not strikeouts.

• My favorite part (of the game) is knowing that they're comfortable, knowing that, no matter
  what, they can count on me. What I really enjoy most about catching is the
  relationship with a pitcher. The most important thing is they can relax when I'm
  back there and know that I did my job, I did some homework on hitters.

• If you're a pitcher, and you're pitching and you strike me out and you start celebrating on the mound and showing me off, whenever I get a hit off you, I'm going to go and celebrate, and you shouldn't get mad.
