I try to stay as private as possible; I know that's difficult, especially playing here in New York, but I make an attempt at it.

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.

The wise are not wise because they make no mistakes. They are wise because they correct their mistakes as soon as they recognize them.

The overarching narrative of the Bible is that of humanity searching for home.

Costumes and scenery alone will not attract audiences.

This feeling to be on the best team of the world is just indescribable.

History's one great lesson is that reactionaries are losers.

To attract more money, you must be attractive, in the sense that people will want and prefer your products or service over those of your competitior.

God, I hate interviews with actors pouncing on. Who wants to know about their lives? I don't want to know about Al Pacino's life.

In an age of militant mediocrity, an 'extremist' is anyone who takes a position.

I mean, I always feel incredibly lucky to get a job.
