One of the best things about being a Yankee is that you have guys like Whitey Ford, Phil Rizzuto, Ron Guidry and Reggie Jackson wandering around the locker room offering you advice.

Yankee Stadium is my favorite stadium; I'm not going to lie to you. There's a certain feel you get in Yankee Stadium.

Work hard, love what you do, put your best foot forward and never forget the kid in you.

Obviously, you're known for what you do. But you still want to be known as a good person. You're a person a lot longer before and after you're a professional athlete.

I go into every game thinking I'm going to be the hero. I have to, or I wouldn't enjoy it.

I play in New York, man. Criticism is part of the game. You take criticism as a challenge.

It doesn't take talent to work hard.
