I like to hit the gym early in the morning. I feel better throughout the day when I get in a workout first thing in the morning.
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.
I hate the treadmill. I hate it. You really don't have to be on it that long, something like 20 or 30 minutes. It's all about getting your heart rate up.
I'm not a hermit, but I definitely stay in a lot more than I used to. There's more attention now then there ever was. You walk down the street with someone and it's a story. It becomes national news, you know what I mean? So, I still do things, but I stay home a lot more.
It's never over. You don't want to be in the position to be down four runs in the ninth inning, but it's not over until the last out.
If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose.
God, I hope I wear this jersey forever.
Walking around sometimes, I would love to just be able to watch people, see how they act. Sometimes I would love to be invisible.
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.
My dreams do not end with playing Major League Baseball.
I remember going from rookie ball to A, to double A, then to triple A. At every level it seemed like the game was faster. The bigger the situation, the more the game speeds up. That's all mental. It messes people up.
The first thing to know about playing baseball in Michigan is, Michigan's really cold.
I looked up to my parents because they were very successful in what they wanted to do. I was lucky; I didn't have to look far for role models.
I'm not perfect; no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes.
So many people are insanely busy nowadays, and it's easy to say, 'Ah, I'll workout tomorrow.' But you have to set aside a time and stick to that schedule.
No former player has owned a team in baseball.
If I put my name on something, I'm going to be involved. I'm not just going to put my name on it and not pay attention.
You have to assume that everything you do is public knowledge. Everything. Because now everyone is a reporter. Everyone is a photographer.
That's how you win - pitching and defense.
The number one priority is playing baseball. There are so many people in New York trying to get you to do this and get you to do that, which is fine, but you have to take care of yourself.
