“There's feelings there, but I think I've just been pretty good at tryi...” — Derek Jeter Quote

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.

I looked up to my parents because they were very successful in what they wanted to do. I was lucky; I didn't have to look far for role models.

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.

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.

I don't do fake. That's the first thing you should know about me. I'm not one to put on airs or change my demeanor depending on where I am or who I am talking to.

If I feel confident wearing something, I think it translates in photographs. It changes my demeanor and posture.

I have, with great intentionality, a demeanor that I hope is welcoming for people to not be afraid to talk to me or, you know, ask me a question.

There was a perception of me, and I earned it because I was really intense, really gruff. I treated certain people poorly at times. It was because of who I was. It was almost my strength. I came in all business. I tried to find ways to fit in with that demeanor, but it's not easy.
