More quotes by 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
I think when things linger, that's when they become a distraction. I don't want any distractions.
Derek Jeter
You know what I want to do? Wake up one weekend and not have to go anywhere and do nothing.

Derek Jeter
It doesn't feel different being here (at the All-Star Game) I feel like I'm on an All-Star team everyday.
Derek Jeter

Derek Jeter
My heroes, my dreams, and my future lay in Yankee Stadium. And they can't take that away from me.
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
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.
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.
