When you're aggressive behind the plate, calling a game, that's when you're at your best. You can't be tentative.

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.

The only thing that matters is when the team wins.

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

If I see a problem (in the clubhouse), I say something right away. I don't wait two or three days.

You can always look back on having a good defensive day, even if you didn't do anything offensively. You won the game and you contributed.

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.

I'm always happy. I like to have fun. During the game, I don't like showing my emotions, though. I'm all about winning the game. I take a lot of responsibility for that.

The Gospel is the walking life, not the walking dead.

Until we become clear about our own worth and value, we will forever be searching for it in the eyes of others.

Coleridge declares that a man cannot have a good conscience who refuses apple dumplings, and I confess that I am of the same opinion.

Bookstores never seem to know where to put me on the shelves. But I do. I love my genre and I love those writers, so I am happy to be considered a crime writer. That's what I consider myself.

I have always seen cold and controlled men as the right ones for me.

I was a theater man, so I was never in the situation of being a handsome Hollywood leading man, and then having to age.

I'm about to make people forget about Madonna.

I don't watch television.

I'm not a person - and my wife also - we don't really go to the beach or anything like that. We go to cities.

I don't particularly consider myself just an artist. I'm a woman - I'm a human being.
