“If you’re going to win games, you’re going to have to come up with the big hits. That’s the bottom line.”

I’m not perfect; no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes.

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.

Work hard, love what you do, put your best foot forward and never forget the kid in you.

I’ve hung out and dated people I’ve never even met before.

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.

You don’t just accidentally show up in the World Series.

Good teams make the playoffs, hot teams win the playoffs.

You have to be confident, if you’re not confident you might as well go home.

Obviously, you’re known for what you do. But you still want to be known as a good person. You’re a person a lot longer before and after you’re a professional athlete.

You’ve got to make adjustments as you get older.

I’m not one to sit around and be satisfied about something. I can always get better.

I want to play every day. This year will be absolutely no different.

The only legacy I want is to be thought of as a winner.

The last thing you want to do is finish playing or doing anything and wish you would have worked harder.

I never think about my own stats, as long as I’m contributing to the team.

My heroes, my dreams, and my future lay in Yankee Stadium. And they can’t take that away from me.

A bigger business is like a cruise ship: There are lots of amenities and you can go a lot further, but it’s harder to turn quickly.

With United, we’d all grown up together, we all wanted to win the biggest trophy in football. We did it togther.

The wise ones bet heavily when the world offers them that opportunity. They bet big when they have the odds. And the rest of the time, they don’t. It’s just that simple.

The worse a situation becomes the less it takes to turn it around, the bigger the upside.

This may sound a bit naive, but I got here by believing in big dreams.

There’s a big difference between motivation and inspiration: Inspire through values and motivation takes care of itself.

Meditation more than anything in my life was the biggest ingredient of whatever success I’ve had.

Believe in your dreams and dream big. And then after you’ve done that, dream bigger.
