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.

What has benefited me the most is learning I can't control what happens outside of my pitching.

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

If you are content with yourself, you'll stop taking those little steps forward and begin taking big steps backward.

The key to pitching is to have the ability to throw a strike when they're taking and throw a ball when the hitter is swinging.

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.
