“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”

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.

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.

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.

I said I’m going to hit the next one right over the flagpole. God must have been with me.

I don’t blame the players today for the money. I blame the owners. They started it. They wanna give it to ’em? More power to ’em.

Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets.

Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.

Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good, too.

So I’m ugly. So what? I never saw anyone hit with his face.

It ain’t over till it’s over

In baseball, you don’t know nothing.
