You have to keep running. I always believed I was going to be safe.

To all the kids out there: Follow your dream. Believe in your dream. Because dreams do come true.

If they're going to pay me like [Mike] Gallego, I'm going to play like Gallego.

All I'm asking for is what I want.

Lou Brock was a great base stealer but today I am the greatest.

Rickey don't like it when Rickey can't find Rickey's limo.

This is Rickey calling on behalf of Rickey. Rickey wants to play baseball.

If my uniform doesn't get dirty, I haven't done anything in the baseball game.

Rickey was never motivated by stats. He was motivated by numbers. Wins runs, steals.

Rickey doesn't have albums, Rickey has CDs.

I want to build a positive image that will last my career.

I've learned in my career, it is much better to be recognized for all the great things you do on the field.

There's no place like New York. And I found out that until you go through it for a season, you don't know it.

Back then it was a different culture. It was very loose. I was young. I was stupid.

I don't expect people to feel sorry for me. My teammates get more upset about the criticism and booing than I do.

I like to score and drive in runs more than pay attention to batting average.

I don't care if people like me or not. Respect is more important.

I think it's just getting comfortable in New York City, comfortable in your own skin.

I’m fighting for my life, I have to defend myself. If I don’t defend myself, no one else will.
