Everybody kind of perceives me as being angry. It's not anger, it's motivation.

Andy Pettitte is my friend...I think he misremembers.

It was an exciting time for me personally because the number of times I've been to the playoffs, that was the opportunity to obtain the first ring. That was special, that's for sure.

When I get too much rest, I'm usually erotic.

It's pretty simple, the way I look at it. I became a Hall of Famer here (in New York), with my numbers here and what I've done here, and hopefully three-hundred will be another big part of that. When (former Red Sox general manager Dan) Duquette said that I was done, if I'd have taken his advice and went home, I wouldn't have been a Hall of Famer. So it's a no-brainer. It's definitely pretty easy. Reggie (Jackson) spent five years here, and this will be five for me.

Some of my finest memories are from my time at the University of Texas. College baseball, I love it.

I'll continue to use Mac [McNamee] to train me. He's one of a kind.
