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.

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.

You have to believe in yourself every day.

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.

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