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 love it when people doubt me. It makes me work harder to prove them wrong.
Derek Jeter
I go into every game thinking I'm going to be the hero. I have to, or I wouldn't enjoy it.
Derek Jeter
Your image isn't your character. Character is what you are as a person.
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. It's funny, because I was never big into autographs as a kid. The only player who I ever wanted an autograph from was Dave Winfield.
Derek Jeter
During the off-season, I go to the movies almost every day.
Derek Jeter
Everyone fears rejection.
Derek Jeter
You're playing a game, whether it's Little League or Game 7 of the Word Series. It's impossible to do well unless you're having a good time. People talk about pressure. Yeah, there's pressure. But I just look at it as fun.
Derek Jeter
That's how you win - pitching and defense.
