I don't feel any pressure. I just try to stay calm, follow my game plan, and try not to get overthrown.

My father helped me become a ballplayer and take the good with the bad.

I love the fans and I appreciate how much they care for me.

My first year in baseball, there were only one or two reporters. My second year, I got to the Triple-A playoffs, there were four or five. When I came up in 1984, I never saw so many people.

You got the ball in your hands and you're in command, and if you get your good pitch where you want it, nobody's gonna hit you.

I'm glad I don't have to face that guy (Don Mattingly) every day. He has that look that few hitters have. I don't know if it's his stance, his eyes or what, but you can tell he means business.

I've done enough wrong on my own, I don't want to get blamed for something I didn't do.
