I attribute much of my success in New York to my ability to understand and avoid unnecessary distractions.

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.

You are given weaknessesso you can learn to become stronger.

To expect too much is to have a sentimental view of life and this is a softness that ends in bitterness.

I guess what people forget sometimes is that when I write songs, I write them sometimes in about 20 minutes.

My real big Internet claim to fame is the fact that I was first to jailbreak the iPhone.

It's the way life is, I suppose. Whatever happens, you deal with it.

I think part of the fun of being an actor is getting to work with different directors and seeing their take on it, what they're passionate about. They all have different ideas about your character.

Anything can be said and, in consequence, written about anything.

I would be jokesmithing. I had files with tons of disses that I would try to write as I was on the train going to school.

Acting has to reach everybody on some level - it's a communication of feeling - but as far as judging the work is concerned, it is, I think, something that actors know about.

Satire lies about literary men while they live and eulogy lies about them when they die.
