I met Tiger Woods, and I looked in his eyes - and I saw Derek Jeter. They don't have to tell people they're good. They just prove it by the way they love the competition.

My 12 years in New York were very, very special, the fans were very special, and it's something I will take with me wherever I go and into retirement.

The fact that somebody is reducing your salary is just telling me they're not satisfied with what you're doing.

Every time I pull somebody out of the bullpen, I believe he can do the job. I have to believe it. If he doesn't, hopefully he will do it the next time.

...in my book success and winning are not always the same thing. To me, success is playing - or working - to the best of your ability.

My relationship with George Steinbrenner was great. He was the boss, and I accepted that.

I hated the Yankees and Dodgers and wound up managing both.
