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.

You can take my cars or my house, just don't mess with my clothes.

I just don't see the light. Where is the light? What am I in this for?

It's tougher when you're established. Before, I'd see 13, 14, 15 pitches that I could drive in a game. Now, I see one, two or three, so I have to be better.

You always dream about being on a baseball card. It's kind of funny when you finally see it.
