I had three jobs my junior and senior year of high school. I worked for the gas station and worked for a pizza place.

My father left me with a saying that I've carried my entire life and tried to pass on to our kids: 'Tough times don't last, tough people do,'

I'm not sure I can think of any scenario more enjoyable than making 55,000 people from New York shut up.

In baseball, I was always in control of everything until I let the ball go.

Most guys who don't like me are either Democrats or Yankee fans.

I don't believe in playing hurt, in taking injections to cover the pain.
