I had a great year and left my guts out on the field.

I hate the word 'potential'-potential means you haven't gotten it done.

I'm a terrible singer. I feel lucky to play baseball. You can't be gifted in everything.

Not one day goes by when I don't remind myself of how grateful I am for those who came before me over the last 25 years. When I see players like Mike Schmidt and Johnny Bench, I thank them.

I had a great year and left my guts out on the field.

We (Derek Jeter and I) always talk about getting old, gray, and fat when our careers are over and just having a good time. He's like me. He wants to have a good time and be a good person. It's a weird situation for us. It's just like we're looking in the mirror. the only difference is I'm on the West Coast and he's on the East Coast.

I’m fighting for my life, I have to defend myself. If I don’t defend myself, no one else will.
