I love New York. I love to come here, to play here, the tradition here. I'll never forget my first home run here was over Mickey Mantle's head.

I come from Cuba. Taxes for me are no big thing.

I still dream about everything I achieved. I dream about my career, dream about playing baseball, meeting so many people, traveling so much.

It's a good feeling to see the kids try to make it, try to get to the big leagues. Everyone here has an opportunity to achieve his dream. I was lucky I was able to achieve my dream.

Life…was much like a song. In the beginning there is mystery, in the end there is confirmation, but it’s in the middle where all the emotion resides to make the whole thing worthwhile.

On your journey to achieve your dreams you will face challenges that will test you to the core.

Best timepass for idle person is to find another and gossip, without realising that there are superlative degrees of idle, idler, and idlest.

There is no evil that does not offer inducements. Vices tempt you by the rewards which they offer.

And you know there’s nothing like writing a song about someone who’s mean to you, and just makes your life miserable…and then winning a Grammy for it.

Hitler wanted to destroy Russia- everyone needs to remember how that ended
