I have the greatest job in the world. Only one person can have it. You have shortstops on other teams - I'm not knocking other teams - but there's only one shortstop on the Yankees.

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

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

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.

You have to be confident, if you're not confident you might as well go home.

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.

When you put a lot of hard work into one goal and you achieve it, that's a really good feeling.

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.

It doesn't take any talent to play hard.

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

There may be people who have more talent than you, but there's no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do - and I believe that.

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.

Everyone fears rejection.

Your image isn't your character. Character is what you are as a person.

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