If you do a job, do it right or there is no point.

I kept thinking, 'this must be the coolest job - I'd like to be a professional baseball player.' They were getting paid to play a game, and what a cool lifestyle that was.

The streak has become my identity; it's who I've become.

You can keep going on and on about the interactions of people, which makes it a great drama and great event ,and you'll always hold that special, but if you're looking at a baseball moment, the feeling you get when you win the World Series by far exceeds anything else in the game that you're able to do.

Stubbornness usually is considered a negative; but I think that trait has been a positive for me.

Each and every day had its challenges.

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