When someone becomes successful or rich and famous, people perceive that person as being different. But I'm the same guy I've always been.

I hadn't focused on mechanics since I signed professionally.

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.

It would be great to just be able to ignore everything and pitch to a spot, to suppress the intellect and let the intuition take over.

I think I'm aware of what goes on in my mind more than some guys, and for that reason I fight more battles.

Meyer and I have a bit in common because we're both left-handed. I think it's great that he seeks out that advice because he's not too "cool" or too uncomfortable to ask for it.

I can count my friends on one hand.
