“So perfect – I’m right where I need to be!”

In my opinion I really haven’t done anything yet. I still have a lot to prove. I just want to prove to myself that I can play at the highest level of baseball in the world every day.

It’s always been family first for me. No matter how well my career goes, nobody here will ask anything of me. I’m just another Dunn to them.

I hope baseball doesn’t get to the point where everyone’s saying, ‘He takes it [steroids]. He takes it. He takes it!’ because not all of us do. I’ve been big my whole life, and I’ll always be big. That’s all natural.

In baseball, it’s tough to get up for every single game, every single moment. In football, you have 90,000 fans screaming and the band’s playing. I do miss that

Cincinnati is perfect for me. I’ve met a lot of good people there who like to fish.

At Texas, I was a football player playing baseball. And the way I play I think I still am.

I’m a small-town guy, and moving to a huge city might be an adjustment.

I have fun. I always have fun. I don’t really get in a hurry about anything. I just try to go with the flow and have fun, and that’s how I try to play baseball.

Hey, I’m serious here? Why do you have to ask me how many hits I have?

I’m a realist. And realists don’t fool themselves.

Cincinnati needs to take notes from Houston. Houston fans are among the top five fans in the game.

It will not be an activity in which all people can participate.

It’s very rare that you get a director that lets you be creative and bring what you feel your character should do or should be.

To be a liar, you’ve got to have a great memory, and I don’t have a memory.

I didn’t really want to be in the lifestyle without the music. And I didn’t want to be in the music without the lifestyle.

Everyone wants to be safe. Well, I got news for you: You can’t be safe. Life’s not safe. Your work isn’t safe.

You gotta be really careful what you bite off. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. It’s a dangerous world.

Golf really is the best microcosm of life – or at least the way life should be.

Rock music is not meant to be perfect.
