In order to lead people, you have to get to know them.

That's how you win - pitching and defense.

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.

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.

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.

The guy's (Shane Spencer) ridiculous. No one hits home runs like that. I'm telling you, man, it's ridiculous.
Derek Jeter
Image
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 know what I want to do? Wake up one weekend and not have to go anywhere and do nothing.
Derek Jeter
Image
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
Image
You gotta have fun. Regardless of how you look at it, we're playing a game. It's a business, it's our job, but I don't think you can do well unless you're having fun.
Derek Jeter
Image
I always take criticism as a challenge. It's the way I've always looked at it.
Derek Jeter
Image
Nine games? It's too long.
Derek Jeter
Image
I'm not one to sit around and be satisfied about something. I can always get better.
Derek Jeter
Image
You have to be confident, if you're not confident you might as well go home.

I try to sign for as many kids as possible. Kids come first, and I'll always sign for a kid before an adult.
