I don't play basketball for the money. I don't play it for the crowd. When I didn't have a friend, when I was lonely, I always knew I could grab that orange pill and go hoop. I could go and dunk on somebody. If things weren't going right, I could make a basket and feel better.

My approach never changes from start to start.

I don't think in the past. I don't think in the future. You grasp the moment.

My thing is to be ready to pitch every five days and give my team a chance to win.

It's all about having fun. Play hard and fair, don't hurt anybody. Feel good about what you're doing and how you're doing it.

Hey, hitting is hard-if you make good pitches that aren't elevated in the zone, you're going to have success.

I've gotten to watch a lot of football games. Growing up, watching sports, watching people compete, whether it's my brothers or teammates. I grew up observing and taking it all in. It's kind of my attitude.
