I think Nick Markakis is a perennial All-Star, and nobody knows about him. I think people are learning about how good he is.

As long as I can compete, I won't quit. Reaching three-thousand is not the finish line as long as I can contribute.

I am driven by what you are able to accomplish and how you are able to help some people. I go about it each and every day, sometimes I think I say yes too much and I am too busy in my life.

There are so many great moments in Yankee Stadium. There is nothing better or no better place better to compete when you are good and the Yankees are good and you are playing a big series in September in Yankee Stadium, four game series, there is no greater excitement anywhere than the Yankee Stadium.

If you really think about it, the stadium can't last forever. There is going to have to come a time when it replaces.

Ultimately, at the end of the day, you couldn't say you were better than the other person because you knew you had a secret. You knew you had cheated.

Early in my career, I decided I never wanted to get out of shape.
