You're a person a lot longer before and after you're a professional athlete. People always say to me, 'Your image is this, your image is that.' Your image isn't your character. Character is what you are as a person. That's what I worry about.
The thing that means the most to me is being remembered as a Yankee, because that's what I've always wanted to be, was to be a Yankee.
You know what I want to do? Wake up one weekend and not have to go anywhere and do nothing.
My best vacation is somewhere I could hide, somewhere warm and not a lot of people around.
I've always been uncomfortable, so to speak, when the focus is on me.
I get nervous watching teammates. I get nervous for them. Late in the game, pressure situation, I'm nervous for them.
