You have to be confident, if you're not confident you might as well go home.

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

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.

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.

I get nervous watching teammates. I get nervous for them. Late in the game, pressure situation, I'm nervous for them.

Everyone fears rejection.

I love it when people doubt me. It makes me work harder to prove them wrong.
