Derek Jeter Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Derek Jeter:

You gotta have fun.

The first thing to know about playing baseball in Michigan is, Michigan's really cold.

Derek Jeter

If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose.

Derek Jeter

The Yankees have strict rules. You can have a mustache but no other facial hair.

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.

Derek Jeter

I think everyone is ticklish. You just gotta find the right spots.

Derek Jeter

Your image isn't your character. Character is what you are as a person.

Derek Jeter

We just want to win. That's the bottom line. I think a lot of times people may become content with one championship or a little bit of success, but we don't really reflect on what we've done in the past. We focus on the present.

Derek Jeter

I wish I trusted people more. But when I meet someone, the first thing is, 'What does this person want?' And I put up a defense mechanism. But I've always been that way.

Derek Jeter

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

Derek Jeter

I think there's something wrong with me - I like to win in everything I do, regardless of what it is. You want to race down the street, I want to beat you. If we're playing checkers, I want to win. You beat me, it's going to bother me. I just enjoy competition.

Derek Jeter

When you put a lot of hard work into one goal and you achieve it, that's a really good feeling.

Derek Jeter

I've always had an interest in business, and my interest in business has really expanded over the years.

Derek Jeter

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

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.

Derek Jeter

My office is at Yankee stadium. Yes, dreams do come true.

Derek Jeter

I remember going from rookie ball to A, to double A, then to triple A. At every level it seemed like the game was faster. The bigger the situation, the more the game speeds up. That's all mental. It messes people up.

Derek Jeter

God, I hope I wear this jersey forever.

Derek Jeter

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

Derek Jeter

I can see how people work out to feel better.

Derek Jeter

I always used to get in trouble for talking too much. When it was time for parent-teacher conferences, I remember that I was always embarrassed about what my parents would hear about me!

Derek Jeter

It's never over. You don't want to be in the position to be down four runs in the ninth inning, but it's not over until the last out.

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.

Derek Jeter

I always have tried to treat people with respect, the way I want to be treated.

Derek Jeter

That's how you win - pitching and defense.

Derek Jeter

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

Derek Jeter

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.

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.

Derek Jeter

I think when things linger, that's when they become a distraction. I don't want any distractions.

Derek Jeter

I voted for Obama.

Derek Jeter

I'm not a hermit, but I definitely stay in a lot more than I used to. There's more attention now then there ever was. You walk down the street with someone and it's a story. It becomes national news, you know what I mean? So, I still do things, but I stay home a lot more.

Derek Jeter

My best vacation is somewhere I could hide, somewhere warm and not a lot of people around.

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.

Derek Jeter

I've always been very cautious with what I do. You know, that started at a young age. I always had the approach or the mentality I never wanted to embarrass my parents.

Derek Jeter

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.

Derek Jeter

Kids are our future.

Derek Jeter

I want to own a team one day. You know, that's my next goal.
