I can't concern myself with what's going on with the club or what the media is writing. If you pay attention to those things, that's when you get yourself in trouble.

I'm not afraid of criticism or what somebody may think.

I'm always writing at night - things I would change, things I would do differently. When I write a note, it sticks in my head differently.

If you don't second-guess yourself, then you are not trying to get better.

The players get no respect around here. They (the Yankees) give you money, that's it, not respect. We get constantly dogged and players from other teams love to see that. That's why nobody wants to play here.

We all have the temptation to be backseat drivers when it comes to decisions that don't work out the way we want.

Nobody can see into the future. Nobody knows what going to go on.
