I try to sign for as many kids as possible. Kids come first, and I'll always sign for a kid before an adult. It's funny, because I was never big into autographs as a kid. The only player who I ever wanted an autograph from was Dave Winfield.

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.

That's how you win - pitching and defense.

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.

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

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

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