God, I hope I wear this jersey forever.
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 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.
I think everyone is ticklish. You just gotta find the right spots.
If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose.
My dad had been shortstop when he was in college, and you know, when you're a kid, you want to be just like your dad.
My hero's, my dreams, and my future lie in Yankee Stadium and they can't take that from me.
My office is at Yankee stadium. Yes, dreams do come true.
We just want to win. That's the bottom line. I think a lot of times people may become content with one championship or a little bit of success, but we don't really reflect on what we've done in the past. We focus on the present.
Yankee Stadium is my favorite stadium; I'm not going to lie to you. There's a certain feel you get in Yankee Stadium.
You forget about it whether it was 15-2 or 3-2. It's still a loss. It doesn't matter what the score was if we win tomorrow.
You gotta have fun. Regardless of how you look at it, we're playing a game. It's a business, it's our job, but I don't think you can do well unless you're having fun.
