I don't think that anybody should be suspended for life for anything, other than murder. How is it helping someone to say, 'You're done forever, your life's over'?

I hate to lose. Hate, hate, hate to lose.

I'm not a win at all costs guy. Winning isn't everything. It's second to breathing.

I haven't always done a good job, and I haven't always been successful - but I know that I have tried.

As I have said many times - my father was a great fan of Bill Dickey's and he certainly loved the Yankees. I hope that he would be pleased.

Second place is really the first loser.

Don't talk to me about aesthetics or tradition. Talk to me about what sells and what's good right now. And what the American people like is to think the underdog still has a chance.
