Surround yourself with good people. People who are going to be honest with you and look out for your best interests.

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.

Yankee Stadium is my favorite stadium I'm not going to lie to you. There's a certain feel you get in Yankee Stadium.

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.

I always take criticism as a challenge. It's the way I've always looked at it.

I think there's something wrong with me - I like to win in everything I do, regardless of what it is. You want to race down the street, I want to beat you. If we're playing checkers, I want to win. You beat me, it's going to bother me. I just enjoy competition.

You know what I want to do? Wake up one weekend and not have to go anywhere and do nothing.

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.

During the off-season, I go to the movies almost every day.

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.

Obviously, you're known for what you do. But you still want to be known as a good person. You're a person a lot longer before and after you're a professional athlete.

Image
I go into every game thinking I'm going to be the hero. I have to, or I wouldn't enjoy it.

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

Work hard, love what you do, put your best foot forward and never forget the kid in you.
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.

Image
I love it when people doubt me. It makes me work harder to prove them wrong.
Derek Jeter
Image
My heroes, my dreams, and my future lay in Yankee Stadium. And they can't take that away from me.

What kind of influence did my parents have on my life? Well, they had the most influence. These are the people who are closest to me. My parents are very positive people. They've been supportive. They're always there.
