I like to hit the gym early in the morning. I feel better throughout the day when I get in a workout first thing in the morning.

I try to sign for as many kids as possible. Kids come first, and I'll always sign for a kid before an adult.

I have the greatest job in the world. Only one person can have it. You have shortstops on other teams - I'm not knocking other teams - but there's only one shortstop on the Yankees.

I always hear people say I give the same answers or I don’t give you much. No, I just don’t give you much negativity. When people are negative a lot, it starts to creep into your mind, and then you start having doubts, and I don’t like that. If there’s another way, show me. My job is to stay positive. My job is to limit distractions. And if you get annoyed by that, I don’t expect you to understand because you’re not in my shoes.

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

I think everyone is ticklish. You just gotta find the right spots.

It doesn't feel different being here (at the All-Star Game) I feel like I'm on an All-Star team everyday.
