Once you're in, you're in. There are only four teams who make it. Let's go.

Mel did a great job here all these years, but that's the way the Yankees are. Everybody knows when you come to the Yankees, that things can change from year to year. Everybody that's been here a while understands the things that may arise.

You know in his tone of voice, his facial expressions. When he has a meeting, he doesn't have to scream and yell, he can just give you that face and that tone he has, and you know we had better pick it up and get going again.

What my work is about is, 'Can something that is not an inanimate object be considered valuable?'

Brazil's (lineup) is like the Yankees' Murderers' Row.

Because of this high status of the object in our culture, something has to be a thing. Live efforts are almost marginal. I think dance, for example, is just as much a thing, and I want for it to have the same status. I don't want it to be the thing that comes in the evening and is, like, the happy music.
