Be who you are. If you're comfortable leading, you're comfortable. And if you're not, it's OK.

Derek Jeter has been a great representative of what the Yankees have stood for over the years. He has been a team player who has only cared about winning. He has also been a fine example both on and off the field over his long tenure as a Yankee. It has been a real pleasure to manage him and play alongside him.

You get an idea what a manager has to go through every day. His is at a very high level. He has situations he has to deal with and the expectations he has to deal with, the personalities he has to deal with. It's a lot.

That's why I cut my hair so short. It was getting a little gray.

I want players to look neat and responsible. Maybe it's old school, but it's kind of neat when people are always clean.
