I had three jobs my junior and senior year of high school. I worked for the gas station and worked for a pizza place.

I'm a good person. I don't wish hateful things on people. I don't hate anybody. I know that I treat people right.

I had a laptop when they weighed 10 pounds.

You could ask any position player and they'll tell you: pitchers aren't athletes.

In my mind, I never doubted whether I was going to achieve what I wanted to do. I just had to decide what it is I wanted to do.

I played on teams with 24 guys pulling the rope one way and one guy pulling the other. I've seen how destructive it can be. I tell them, 'If 13 of you are insanely successful and one fails, we all lose.'

Most guys who don't like me are either Democrats or Yankee fans.
