You gotta have fun. Regardless of how you look at it, we're playing a game. It's a business, it's our job, but I don't think you can do well unless you're having fun.

I always have tried to treat people with respect, the way I want to be treated.
My heroes, my dreams, and my future lay in Yankee Stadium. And they can't take that away from me.
My office is at Yankee stadium. Yes, dreams do come true.
My dreams do not end with playing Major League Baseball.
I love it when people doubt me. It makes me work harder to prove them wrong.
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.
I like to hit the gym early in the morning. I feel better throughout the day when I get in a workout first thing in the morning.

What kind of influence did my parents have on my life? Well, they had the most influence. These are the people who are closest to me. My parents are very positive people. They've been supportive. They're always there.
During the off-season, I go to the movies almost every day.
We just want to win. That's the bottom line. I think a lot of times people may become content with one championship or a little bit of success, but we don't really reflect on what we've done in the past. We focus on the present.
My dad had been shortstop when he was in college, and you know, when you're a kid, you want to be just like your dad.
