More quotes by Derek Jeter
During the offseason, I go to the movies almost every day. You hear about women buying shoes? I buy DVDs. I definitely have a problem.
Derek Jeter
I will never brag about myself, but my family, I can go on forever.
Derek Jeter
I try to sign for as many kids as possible. Kids come first, and I'll always sign for a kid before an adult.
Derek Jeter
It's never over. You don't want to be in the position to be down four runs in the ninth inning, but it's not over until the last out.
Derek Jeter
You have to be confident, if you're not confident you might as well go home.
Derek Jeter
I can see how people work out to feel better.

A lot of teams, I think, are just happy to make the post-season. Here, you have to win.
Derek Jeter
I think there's something wrong with me - I like to win in everything I do, regardless of what it is. You want to race down the street, I want to beat you. If we're playing checkers, I want to win. You beat me, it's going to bother me. I just enjoy competition.
Derek Jeter
During the off-season, I go to the movies almost every day.
Derek Jeter
I'm not one to sit around and be satisfied about something. I can always get better.
Derek Jeter
For me, when I was a kid, volunteering was the last thing I was thinking about. When I see kids doing it now, it amazes me. It's very impressive, it gives them something productive to do as opposed to getting in trouble. For them to take time out at such a young age is remarkable. I think all kids should take a little time out to volunteer.
Derek Jeter
I get nervous watching teammates. I get nervous for them. Late in the game, pressure situation, I'm nervous for them.
Derek Jeter
Good teams make the playoffs, hot teams win the playoffs.
Derek Jeter
Handle yourself like a professional on the field and you have one goal-and that's to win.
Derek Jeter
Your image isn't your character. Character is what you are as a person.
Derek Jeter
If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose.
Derek Jeter
Defense usually doesn't make many headlines, but it goes a long way towards winning baseball games. There are a number of ways to make an impact during the course of a game, and playing solid, sound defense is one of them.
