The bottom line is just that Rickey Henderson was my favorite player. His flair, his style-the key word is impact-he's an impact player.

Why tone down my aggressiveness? When I do, I get in trouble.

Even when I'm nervous, I think I'm able to turn that nervous energy into strength.

I've got numbers in my head that I'd like to keep to myself. If I get them or pass them, only I will know.

Hustle is just playing the game right.

People think I must have all these superstitions, but I don't. I use my batting gloves 'til they wear out. I broke four or five bats during the streak, and I didn't cry over any of them.

My role is to set everything in motion.

I planned on being successful ever since I was young. To me, this is nothing to be surprised about.

Physical ability only goes so far. You have to work hard the rest of the way.

If you're talented enough and play long enough, and put up numbers, you'll get to the Hall of Fame. That doesn't make you a World Series winner.
