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

My office is at Yankee stadium. Yes, dreams do come true.

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

I love it when people doubt me. It makes me work harder to prove them wrong.

I have the greatest job in the world. Only one person can have it. You have shortstops on other teams - I'm not knocking other teams - but there's only one shortstop on the Yankees.

Surround yourself with good people. People who are going to be honest with you and look out for your best interests.

There may be people who have more talent than you, but there's no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do - and I believe that.

This is why you play - to get an opportunity to play in the playoffs.

The last thing you want to do is finish playing or doing anything and wish you would have worked harder.

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

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

Living might mean taking chances, but they're worth taking. Loving might be a mistake. but its worth making

What matters most, is not how my end happens, or if it happens now. What I care about in this instant, is that she knows how much I love her—that I lived long enough to have her love me back.

I had to do what I had to do to keep my family alive. Period.

That guy in a twenty-five cent bleacher seat is as much entitled to know a call as the guy in the boxes. He can see my arm signal even if he can't hear my voice.

It's but little good you'll do a-watering the last year's crops

I think my feet are my sexiest body part. People I find really sexy include Angelina Jolie, George Clooney and my mum.

Even if you managed to escape from one cage, weren't you just in another, larger one?

My success is not who I am.

One learns in life to keep silent and draw one's own confusions.

Let your children be as so many flowers, borrowed from God. If the flowers die or wither, thank God for a summer loan of them.
