Enjoy your sweat because hard work doesn't guarantee success, but without it you don't have a chance.

There is a difference between image and reputation. Image is nice. Reputation is developed over an entire career. Reputation is what I'm searching for.

With what has occurred in my life, the baseball field is where I feel most comfortable. That's what I feel I was born to do and it's what I do best.

I like to score and drive in runs more than pay attention to batting average.

We (Derek Jeter and I) want to kill each other. I think we both drive each other and motivate each other. But, when we're off the field, we're like family. I think the nice thing about it is we became good friends before we even mad it to the big leagues. That makes it more of a healthy relationship.

Baseball has a funny way to tap you on the shoulder when you least expect it and tells you it's the end.

Anyone can forget about talent, but if you're a good person, your name will be remembered a long time.
