Never is a concept the Yankees won't ever come across.

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.

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.

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.

Never is a concept the Yankees won't ever come across.

I'm going to give up hits, so I'm going to need to get some ground balls, double plays and stuff like that. That's just kind of my game.

Whatever I do, I love to win. I don't care if it's tennis or ping pong, I'll kill myself to win it.
