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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

A lot of teams, I think, are just happy to make the post-season. Here, you have to win.

You don't just accidentally show up in the World Series.

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.

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

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