You have to believe in yourself every day.

If you're talented enough and play long enough, and put up numbers, you'll get to the Hall of Fame. That doesn't make you a World Series winner.

Hustle is just playing the game right.

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

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.

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.

I planned on being successful ever since I was young. To me, this is nothing to be surprised about.
