In this I-me society, my job is to get people to buy into something bigger than themselves.

Most guys who don't like me are either Democrats or Yankee fans.

I've been called a lot of things. But never, and I mean never, could anyone ever make the mistake of calling me a Yankee fan.

People love to say we get paid a lot of money to play a game, but it stopped being a game when you start getting paid.

I don't have any problem with government helping entrepreneurs and businesses.

I don't pitch for contracts.

I don't vote party lines. Never have. I vote for the best candidate.
