The great thing about being a Yankee is that youre always a Yankee.

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.

There is nothing worse for the lying soul than the mirror of reality.

You have to thank God for the seemingly good and the seemingly bad because really, you don't know the difference [until we get to heaven].

When you are in love, it means that the person you love is of great personal, selfish importance to you and to your life.

Inside every fat man, there's a thin man trying to get out.

People have been playing against me below their strength for fifteen years.

I spend so much time like living in the past or the future. I mean, I think most people do, really. And the moments when you're really present in your life can be pretty rare, really.

For our vanity is such that we hold our own characters immutable, and we are slow to acknowledge that they have changed, even for the better.

Catering to bad feelings feeds and empowers them.

Once we recognize our shadow's existence we must resist the enticing step of going with its flow.

Ordinary people, simply doing their jobs, and without any particular hostility on their part, can become agents in a terrible destructive process.
