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

Rickey doesn't have albums, Rickey has CDs.

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

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

I just don't see the light. Where is the light? What am I in this for?

You always dream about being on a baseball card. It's kind of funny when you finally see it.

Walking the streets of New York, a lot of people are cheering me on. It feels good.

I've done a lot of growing up and realized a lot of things.

When you think small and up the middle, good things happen.

You must be present to win.

Whether I hit .260 or .320, the bottom line here is to win.

Therapy can be a good thing; it can be therapeutic.
