It doesn't take any talent to play hard.

The great thing about being a Yankee is that youre always a Yankee.

In my opinion, I've had the greatest job in the world. I got a chance to be the shortstop for the New York Yankees, and there's only one of those. And I always felt as though it was my job, was to try to provide joy and entertainment for you guys, but it can't compare to what you brought me. So for that, thank you very much.

My grandmother asks me to race down the street, I'm going to try to beat her. And I'll probably enjoy it. Competitive to a fault, sometimes.

My office is at Yankee stadium. Yes, dreams do come true.

If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose.

Surround yourself with good people. People who are going to be honest with you and look out for your best interests.
