You're not going to win by automatically going out there. It's hard to know what people really expect of you, and I've never tried to live up to expectations anyway. That's no way to play baseball.

The best pitchers have a short term memory and a bullet proof confidence.

I don't care if we're out of it or not, if I've got a chance to pitch, I want to.

I don't believe for one second that the eye surgery has helped me on the mound

I look forward to another good year next year. It would be nice to win, too.

I was under the impression I had signed a three-year contract. I want to be back. I expect to be back. I will be back.

I could probably throw harder if I wanted, but why? When they're in a jam, a lot of pitchers...try to throw harder. Me, I try to locate better.
