I only look forward. I can't get all caught up in what I've done. I still have plenty to accomplish in the game. Hopefully, I'm just scratching the surface.

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

Whether I hit .260 or .320, the bottom line here is to win.

I want to be the best, and the best work. You have to earn what you get, and you have to work to keep it.

Walking the streets of New York, a lot of people are cheering me on. It feels good.

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.

I've never felt overmatched on the baseball field. I've always been a very strong, dominant position. And I felt that if I did my work as I've done since I was, you know, a rookie back in Seattle, I didn't have a problem competing at any level. So, no.
