If you play well on the field, everything will take care of itself.

The great thing about being a Yankee is that youre always a Yankee.

You've got to make adjustments as you get older.

During the off-season, I go to the movies almost every day.

I never think about my own stats, as long as I'm contributing to the team.

If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose.

My heroes, my dreams, and my future lay in Yankee Stadium. And they can't take that away from me.

The only legacy I want is to be thought of as a winner.

You don't just accidentally show up in the World Series.

I play in New York, man. Criticism is part of the game. You take criticism as a challenge.

In order to lead people, you have to get to know them.

I think everyone is ticklish. You just gotta find the right spots.

My best vacation is somewhere I could hide, somewhere warm and not a lot of people around.

It doesn't take talent to work hard.

Everyone fears rejection.

I always take criticism as a challenge. It's the way I've always looked at it.

When you put a lot of hard work into one goal and you achieve it, that's a really good feeling.

My parents always felt if I worked hard enough I could make any dream come true.

I'm not perfect; no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes.
