In order to lead people, you have to get to know them.

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.

There is something about just setting the pen to paper that lifts me and helps to focus my energy and thoughts.

God has from the beginning, placed in us all the necessary gifts, abilities and talents to have success

Death has become so predictable that I have neither the youthful reverence of it nor the middle-age fear.

God does not need just ability but availability

First, you have to have fun. Second, you have to put love where your labour is. Third, you have to go in the opposite direction to everyone else.

Talk to the tree, make friends with it.

I feel like I'm always learning from people.

Be attentive, feel nothing in vain, measure and compare: this is the whole law of philosophy.

Every unwanted animal ends up on my farm: alpacas and horses and dogs and cats and chickens and ducks and parrots and fish and guinea pigs.

Suddenly I've had enough of all this. I've had enough of being made to feel insecure and paranoid and wondering what's going on
