You have to believe in yourself every day.

Even when I'm nervous, I think I'm able to turn that nervous energy into strength.

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

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.

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

My role is to set everything in motion.
