Any player that says they don't want to go to an All-Star Game is lying to you. It's something everyone wants to be a part of.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
I don't really see myself getting a Twitter account. Nothing against it. I get it. I especially get it for businesses.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
I've never been an actor on Broadway, but it feels like you're on a stage when you play at Yankee Stadium. And that's the feeling I've always had.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
I think, a lot of times, players get in trouble when they're asked questions and they think they have to find a way to answer it. If you ask me a question and I say, 'I don't know,' there's really no follow-up.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
I try to stay as private as possible; I know that's difficult, especially playing here in New York, but I make an attempt at it.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
I always appreciated the ex-players. Being a Yankee, you get spoiled. Old-Timers Day, all these guys coming back, spring training, being around them, you get a chance to get to know them. So I always think you learn a lot by listening.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
The first thing to know about playing baseball in Michigan is, Michigan's really cold.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
I've always been very aware of what I'm saying, but I'm also aware of what you're saying. I always want to make sure that my point is clear.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
For me, when I was a kid, volunteering was the last thing I was thinking about. When I see kids doing it now, it amazes me. It's very impressive, it gives them something productive to do as opposed to getting in trouble. For them to take time out at such a young age is remarkable. I think all kids should take a little time out to volunteer.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
When it was time for parent-teacher conferences, I remember that I was always embarrassed about what my parents would hear about me!
Quote by -Derek Jeter
You can't be sensitive, because you're going to get criticized. I don't care who you are, you're going to get criticized.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
The draft is a crapshoot, so I've been very fortunate to be drafted by the Yankees, and to have spent my whole career here.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
Through time you learn from your experiences. I think I've learned to deal with people a little bit better over time. That in particular has developed a little bit.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
I'd like to get a degree. You ever see the movie 'Back to School?' I'll go back with my kids.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
You tell me you want to race down the street, I'm going to try to beat you. My grandmother asks me to race down the street, I'm going to try to beat her. And I'll probably enjoy it. Competitive to a fault, sometimes.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
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.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
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.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
Athletics keeps us healthy, gets us up and running around. It also gives you an opportunity to meet a lot of different people, which is very important.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
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.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
There's feelings there, but I think I've just been pretty good at trying to hide my emotions throughout the years. I try to have the same demeanor each and every day.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
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.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
The big difference for me is that, as I get older, I find it's a lot easier to stay in shape than it is to get back in shape.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
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.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
If you're going to win games, you're going to have to come up with the big hits. That's the bottom line.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
You're playing a game, whether it's Little League or Game 7 of the Word Series. It's impossible to do well unless you're having a good time. People talk about pressure. Yeah, there's pressure. But I just look at it as fun.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
I try to sign for as many kids as possible. Kids come first, and I'll always sign for a kid before an adult. It's funny, because I was never big into autographs as a kid. The only player who I ever wanted an autograph from was Dave Winfield.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
I always take criticism as a challenge. It's the way I've always looked at it.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
I'm a New Yorker now, and believe me, there's no comparison between the Big Apple and Kalamazoo, no similarity at all. New York City's hectic, always in fast-forward, and Kalamazoo's more laid-back, smaller, slower.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
I always have tried to treat people with respect, the way I want to be treated.
Quote by -Derek Jeter
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.
