My heroes, my dreams, and my future lay in Yankee Stadium. And they can't take that away from me.

My parents always felt if I worked hard enough I could make any dream come true.

There's responsibility, but there's also accountability. You have to be accountable for your actions. You have to stand at your locker when things are going bad.

My grandmother asks me to race down the street, I'm going to try to beat her. And I'll probably enjoy it. Competitive to a fault, sometimes.

The last thing you want to do is finish playing or doing anything and wish you would have worked harder.

When I was younger, I was always taught not to make excuses.

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