MVP is the best player in the league. I think that's too big for me. When people call me the MVP, I'm a little surprised by that.

All the time, I think positive things about baseball. That's always how you do it. I'm a baseball player-that's all I want to do, all the time, be better and better.

I make stupid errors because I don't concentrate. I let things bother me.

Every time I walk out onto the field, I feel that I can be the best one in the game and that I can be a superstar.

It's been a long time since I've been in the playoffs. I want to get back there.

I think my power comes from my hands.

My goal is to play hard and give the city a chance for a championship.

I don't miss playing for the Yankees. I miss my friends, my teammates.

Look at Sammy Sosa-before he was skinny. Now he's big and he hits a lot of homers. Maybe I'll be the same.

Interestingly enough after diving to 235 feet in Saba, I visited the Virgin Islands. There, as a pure Karmic coincidence, I met the inventor of the snowboard, Steve Sanders, Mr. Burton's brother.

If you're referring to the incident with the dragon, I was barely involved. All I did was give your uncle a little nudge out of the door.

I've followed my voice rather than forcing it to emerge.

Once you've invested hundreds of hours in creating a coherent universe, your story's grown to around a half-million words and can't be written as anything less than a trilogy.

If you don't feel good about something, you don't shake it off easily.

I'm reserved, so I've always needed to find a way of opening up. Jazz helped me do that.

The culture industry not so much adapts to the reactions of its customers as it counterfeits them.

The most reserved of men, that will not exchange two syllables together in an English coffee-house, should they meet at Ispahan, would drink sherbet and eat a mess of rice together.
