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.

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.

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

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 would love to try to win another game. Obviously, it's more fun when you win. I'd rather try and not win than not try at all.

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.
