For me personally it doesn't matter who is the manager, I'm going to go out there and play for the manager, and play for this uniform as a team.

People think I must have all these superstitions, but I don't. I use my batting gloves 'til they wear out. I broke four or five bats during the streak, and I didn't cry over any of them.

Why tone down my aggressiveness? When I do, I get in trouble.

No, I'm not the prototypical leadoff man. I'm not the prototypical anything. I just try to be the prototypical Jimmy Rollins.

You are recognized by your bat. If you are the best hitting shortstop out there, that's how you win a Gold Glove. That's the way it is. It shouldn't be-it's a defensive award.

Passiveness affects everything. It affects you on the bases and on defense. It affects your thinking. I can't be passive.

The bottom line is just that Rickey Henderson was my favorite player. His flair, his style-the key word is impact-he's an impact player.
