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

You know what I want to do? Wake up one weekend and not have to go anywhere and do nothing.

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.

I never think about my own stats, as long as I'm contributing to the team.

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.

Handle yourself like a professional on the field and you have one goal-and that's to win.

You've got to make adjustments as you get older.
