I’m just trying to not be in stupid gossip magazines, basically, and I think the best way to do it is never be photographed ever.

My main concern is when it's 2-0, I've got to keep it at 2-0. It gives us a little more of a chance. To give up four more runs, that isn't going to get it done. I don't care who you're facing or who you're playing, it's not going to get it done.
