I will never brag about myself, but my family, I can go on forever.

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

When it was time for parent-teacher conferences, I remember that I was always embarrassed about what my parents would hear about me!

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.

You can't be sensitive, because you're going to get criticized. I don't care who you are, you're going to get criticized.

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

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 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.

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

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.
