[In hockey] I was a goon, just protecting the better players. I've always been a better baseball player.

You want to be as dominant as possible and you want to put some doubt in the hitters' heads. That's what I'm trying to do every single time I'm on the mound.

I'm me on the mound. I like to show my emotion, be real aggressive and give everything I've got for one half inning. I don't have to act. What you see on the mound is what I am in real life.

I have good days and bad days, but they aren't much different.

I like it when every pitch counts. There are a lot of people who see it as a negative, but I try to feed off it.

I don't think about delivery. I don't think about mechanics. I just think about throwing hard.

It's the best feeling in the world . The game's on the line, and you're the guy in the spotlight.
