I daydream just like everybody else. I just do it with my body facing the field, so everybody thinks I'm paying attention.

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

The reason I think I'm a good pitcher is I locate my fastball and I change speeds. Period. That's what you do to pitch. That's what pitchers have to do to win games

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.

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

I only know one way to pitch. I really do.
