I'm so secure in myself I couldn't care less what people think of me.

I can count my friends on one hand.

We're all physical bodies, but basically everything we do is determined by what goes on in our heads. The only person who ever stops me from achieving something is me.

I need to have perspective. That's one of the big things former players told me, to not try to live up to anything, just live up to yourself.

I'm OK being the veteran, but I'm still just a kid.

I think in the bullpen you can tell during your warmups, if you have a good feel for it. But anything can happen once you get into a game. Sometimes you just wind up throwing it better than ever before one day without knowing why.

I just write mechanical things.
