Education is very important to me, as is helping children.

I have confidence that whatever I set in my mind will happen. Everything I strived for I reached.

I'm so excited about the new [Yankee] stadium!

God has forgiven everything that I've ever done. If someone does something to hurt my family or me, I can always forgive them. It keeps hate and anger out of my heart.

You can never pat yourself on the back during the season. Then you get complacent, stop working and let yourself slide.

One thing that I've realized is that you're never going to be 100 percent successful. You're always going to be let down. When you have God in your life and you follow Christ, you're never going to be let down. Every time that you fail, He's there to pick you right back up. Every time you think the world's going to end because you had a couple of bad games, God's there to remind you that's not what it's all about.

I have no problem with the arbitration process.
