I count it an honor to play with some guys that I've watched play on television, and may be in the Hall of Fame some day.

Over my career, I think I've shown can make a big pitch.

I wanted to play for the New York Yankees. That was the bottom line. I wanted to be there and play in that new stadium.

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

Whenever someone has the ability to impact people's lives, I think that's one of the greatest things that God gives us as individuals.

I'm not a negative-minded person. But maybe to keep me humble, I look more at my bad games in big situations than good ones.

When I take the mound in Yankee Stadium I feel like my stuff is going to be better than ever.
