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

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.

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

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

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

It takes a mile before anything happens. And if it was a wrong turn, getting back on course takes even longer.

I didn’t want anything written about me. Then, you know, things happen, finally it’s OK and I trust Larry. Nothing about it is salacious in any way.

I won vice president of my student body in high school. That doesn’t mean anything.

I don’t talk politics and I don’t talk philosophy or anything like that, but if you look at my work, you might get an expression of me as a person.

We don’t owe America anything – America owes us.

I don’t watch anything on a regular basis – I tend to binge-watch things.

That was the first thing I was struck by, not by the acting, not by anything else, but by the physicality.

“To be or not to be is” [by William Shakespeare] beyond anything I can comprehend.
