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

If you play well on the field, everything will take care of itself.

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.

When you put a lot of hard work into one goal and you achieve it, that's a really good feeling.

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

I'm not one to sit around and be satisfied about something. I can always get better.

I can have fun anywhere, as long as I'm with good people. But in the offseason, I like to go somewhere warm, a nice spot in the Caribbean.
