The only thing that matters is when the team wins.

I'm very proud of my area around the plate. I don't want anyone messing with my dirt.

I could never wear another uniform. I will forever be a Yankee.

I think you learn. You learn from your mistakes. You learn from things you do and try to stay away from the negatives in your life. I think I've grown.

You gotta take care of yourself; you cant do anything in excess.

My father knows me better than anyone. He can tell me over the phone what I'm doing wrong.

I try to go out and do the same thing every night. I've been taught since I was a kid that the only thing that matters is winning.

New rumors that Saddam Hussein is planning to flee to a castle in Libya with 10 billion dollars. Now President Bush doesn't know whether to nuke him or give him a tax cut.

You got to be smart you got to be clever and not get hit and when your able to do this your a fighter

The land belongs to those who work it with their hands.

Opportunities, creative ideas or the lack of them, happiness, frustration, brilliance, talent, success and failure - all are determined by the state of mind that you're in.

I wanted an idea of the future, a new femininity. I wanted you to feel that you wouldn't quite know where these women were coming from and where they were going to.
