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

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.

Winners live in the present tense. People who come up short are consumed with future or past. I want to be living in the now.

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

Therapy can be a good thing; it can be therapeutic.

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.

We have a responsibility not just as atheletes, but as members of society to treat people well. To do things the right way.
