The tradition you have at the University of Texas is like no other.

I've been very fortunate. I feel very thankful. I've been able to come home and do some fun things and make it exciting for people here at home

If someone met me on a game day, he wouldn't like me. The days in between, I'm the goodest guy you can find.

My only day off is the day I pitch.

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

He's (George Steinbrenner) the one who gave me a chance to get to the World Series. This is where I wanted to be all along. We had a couple of nice offers from other teams, but I tied my agents' hands. I told them I wanted to be a Yankee.

Every time I toe the rubber, it's no different for me than it was in the World Series.
