Regardless of where you're pitching, regardless of what goes on before or after your game, you still have to be ready.

Regardless of where you're pitching, regardless of what goes on before or after your game, you still have to be ready.

I try to do two things: locate my fastball and change speeds. That's it. I try to keep as simple as possible. I just throw my fastball (to) both sides of the plate and change speed every now and then. There is no special food or anything like that, I just try to make quality pitches and try to be prepared each time I go out there.

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

Oh, poor me (jokingly, after being told that Randy Johnson & Pedro Martinez would make more in 2003 than he would). What do I do now? I guess I'll have to get a second job.

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

When people say (nice) things you take them as compliments and it's nice, but it won't help you win your next game. The thing I am trying to keep in mind is that relying on my past performance will not make me win my next game, it'll only get in my way.
