More quotes by Derek Jeter
I'm not one to sit around and be satisfied about something. I can always get better.
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'm not perfect no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes.
Derek Jeter
Our fans don't want to see us win the Wild Card. They want to see us win the division.
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
That's how you win - pitching and defense.
Derek Jeter
The Yankees have twenty-five heroes.
Derek Jeter
Your image isn't your character. Character is what you are as a person.
Derek Jeter
I've hung out and dated people I've never even met before.
Derek Jeter
I never think about my own stats, as long as I'm contributing to the team.
Derek Jeter
During the off-season, I go to the movies almost every day.
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
It doesn't take any talent to play hard.
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
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
I have the greatest job in the world. Only one person can have it. You have shortstops on other teams - I'm not knocking other teams - but there's only one shortstop on the Yankees.
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
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
Work hard, love what you do, put your best foot forward and never forget the kid in you.
Derek Jeter
I try to stay as private as possible I know that's difficult, especially playing here in New York, but I make an attempt at it.
Derek Jeter
