More quotes by Derek Jeter
I love it when people doubt me. It makes me work harder to prove them wrong.
Derek Jeter
I can have fun anywhere, as long as I'm with good people. But in the offseason, I like to go somewhere warm, a nice spot in the Caribbean.
Derek Jeter
Work hard, love what you do, put your best foot forward and never forget the kid in you.
Derek Jeter
You know what I want to do? Wake up one weekend and not have to go anywhere and do nothing.
Derek Jeter
So is work ethic. You do things over and over again, and when you get in a situation you like to think it comes natural. I think there has to be a mind-set that you’re not afraid to fail. I’m not afraid to fail. I’ve done it quite a bit. The calmer you are, the more the game slows down for you, and I think part of that is controlling your emotions.
Derek Jeter
I've hung out and dated people I've never even met before.
Derek Jeter
I think when things linger, that's when they become a distraction. I don't want any distractions.
Derek Jeter
Good teams make the playoffs, hot teams win the playoffs.
Derek Jeter
You can't be sensitive, because you're going to get criticized. I don't care who you are, you're going to get criticized.
Derek Jeter
When you put a lot of hard work into one goal and you achieve it, that's a really good feeling.
Derek Jeter
My heroes, my dreams, and my future lay in Yankee Stadium. And they can't take that away from me.
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
It doesn't take talent to work hard.
Derek Jeter
I like to dance and sing when there's no one around, but, if I'm out, I'm really shy about it. So it takes a lot to get me going, but I enjoy being around music.
Derek Jeter
If I'm shifted two steps toward third base and the ball goes up the middle, people say I have no range to my left. That's why those statistics aren't accurate. You're changing for every batter, sometimes with every pitch. You really can't make one statistic for every shortstop. You have to go by what you see.
Derek Jeter
I always take criticism as a challenge. It's the way I've always looked at it.
Derek Jeter
Your image isn't your character. Character is what you are as a person.
Derek Jeter
My best vacation is somewhere I could hide, somewhere warm and not a lot of people around.
Derek Jeter
You have to be confident, if you're not confident you might as well go home.
Derek Jeter
The guy's (Shane Spencer) ridiculous. No one hits home runs like that. I'm telling you, man, it's ridiculous.
Derek Jeter
