I just want to throw strikes. If I can't throw strikes, I'm worthless.

I want to make guys put the ball in play. If I give up ten hits, then I give up ten hits. But I want to work on making them earn it.

Win or lose, I've been fortunate to be able to pitch deep enough into games to get decisions.

As far as the anxiety, I have no idea about it. I don't feel like I have any nervousness out there. I'm just a guy who really cares about being competitive and that's the bottom line.

Whatever I can do to win, I'll do it, even if I have to get hit by a pitch, whatever it takes.

I love what I do. I'm appreciative and I'm still competitive. I still love baseball, but it doesn't consume me. If I can't do it anymore, then I go home and do something else. It's not the end of the world. It's just the end of your career.

I just want to throw strikes. If I can't throw strikes, I'm worthless.
