New York has been a blessing for me and my family.

I don't have control over everything; God has control over everything and I trust him, so I don't worry.

I don't wait for people to give me respect. I always give them respect.

I know what kind of pitcher Whitey was, and I know what kind of person Whitey is. It makes me feel proud to be a Yankee. We're keeping this in the family.

God is good for everybody. The sun shines on good people and bad people, and it rains on both, too. God doesn't choose rain only for bad people.

I never give up. If you beat me, you have to beat me one, three, four, five times, and I still don't give up.

I think the good Lord is a Yankee.
