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 refuse to be molded into some stereotypical ballplayer that has no interests, really, no life, no depth, no intelligence.

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.

When I'm doing well, it's like I'm in a nice little ballet. Everything is going slow all around me. It's very peaceful.

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.

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