I have a future and I have a mind and I have things to look forward to,' but to me it's just about..I love to pitch so much.

My buddy David Wells is a big motorcycle guy, so when I go visit him in San Diego, he takes me out on his bike. He's got some antique Indians. I never really rode during my career, because I was afraid I'd fall off and ruin my career.

Part of what makes you great as a young player can hurt you at the end of your career, in terms of you need a certain amount of ego, a certain amount of arrogance to be able to play well and to push yourself and trick yourself into thinking you're better than you really are.

At nighttime, you just try to keep him out of jail.

I can't remember a major league game where I could make eye contact with my dad. I kept wondering if he was going to yell at me for hanging a pitch or something.

A major league pitching coach is a really difficult job. It takes a big commitment in terms of time, travel and workload.

I think the changeup has become more popular recently by pitchers like Pedro Martinez and the success he had with it.
