I've pitched in a lot of big games.

You know how you just don't like guys on the other team sometimes? It's funny because growing up I loved Roger (Clemens), loved to watch Roger pitch. Then when I was first in the big leagues and he was for the other team, I hated him.

He (Tommy Pettitte [father] coached me as kid. He bought all the books and videos and tried to learn as much about pitching as he could. But once I was in high school, he never tried to be my coach.

I feel like I should go out there and throw a shutout every time I pitch. If we score one [run] and I give up two, then I didn't do my job as far as I'm concerned.

When you build relationships, you get to share your beliefs. It gives you the opportunity to share your faith with other people.

I let the other guys handle the talking. I love playing.

It kills me when I make a bad pitch...I want to be perfect out there.
