I believe in giving more than 100% on the field, and I don't really worry about the result if there's great commitment on the field. That's victory for me.

It's important to learn and not repeat the same mistakes. What's done is done.

Cricket is not everything, not by any means, but it is a large part of who I am.

If you don't really have a dream, you can't really push yourself; you don't really know what the target is.

I have three dogs at home. Even after losing a series or winning a series, they treat me the same way.

I have always believed that process is more important than results.

Fastball middle-middle. You can't miss that pitch.

Pretty much all bowlers are nice dudes.

I can't speak on anybody else's free agencies, how that's going, but for myself, it helps to kind of be patient and let it happen.

Five World Series rings, 3000-plus hits, the fame, the fortune and playing for the second most historic franchise in baseball... These are just some of the reasons kids would always say they want to grow up to be just like Derek Jeter.

You don't want to sell yourself short.

Every game I'm out there, we're all trying to affect the game in some way.

I don't hit home runs in BP.

When you just stand for something, you kind of stand for it.

The more Opening Days the better. It never gets old. It's one of those things where as it comes you embrace it, get ready, you still get those butterflies, which means you care.

Even in the minor leagues, I just said I'll get my little bit of time in here and then get out of here. I was going to try, though. I wasn't going to just give up. I was always going to try. I'm here. I figured I might as well try.

Every year you go in and you obviously want to win a World Series, at least make the playoffs.

I grew up in bowling alleys.

No matter what I say, people are going to have their opinions and there is nothing I can do about that.

I like leading by example.

I'm not a huge vocal guy.

Just because you go to free agency doesn't mean you don't want to be somewhere. It's just a part of the business.

Even though this is a business you do have people here that you're with every day, like your family. You want to go play for them and you want to win with them. You have to find a way to do that but understand that there is a business side to it. You have to find a way to understand.

It's kind of tough as you're playing you kind of wonder what is going to happen to you as you go through arbitration or as you go through free agency.
