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.

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.

It only took me 21 runs and five years to get a win here.

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.

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

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.

It gives me great peace to know that no matter how good or how bad I do, the Lord loves me. That's all that really matters to me. Baseball isn't what everything is about. It's about the way I'm being a Christian husband, a Christian father, or the way I'm living my life and trying to be a Christian testimony to people.
