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.

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
Image
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.

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 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.

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.

The guy's (Shane Spencer) ridiculous. No one hits home runs like that. I'm telling you, man, it's ridiculous.

I'm not perfect no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes.

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'm not one to sit around and be satisfied about something. I can always get better.

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

It took him 75 steps to get from third to home. I thought we were going to have to go out there and help him. A lot of players start thinking double then maybe wind up with a triple because the outfielder slips.

Handle yourself like a professional on the field and you have one goal-and that's to win.

Nine games? It's too long.

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

I get nervous watching teammates. I get nervous for them. Late in the game, pressure situation, I'm nervous for them.

If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose.

I've hung out and dated people I've never even met before.

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.
