Souderton was a good town to grow up in. Everybody knew each other.

Work ethic has always been stressed in my family. My dad is going to be 80 years old and he still works part time. My mom just retired a couple years ago and she's in her mid- to late 70s.

Physical therapy is part of my offseason routine. That has helped me greatly.

I don't expect anyone to give me anything.

If you're a doctor or a lawyer or teacher, if you only get three things right out of 10, you're considered a failure.

I probably didn't put forth the effort I should have put forth, didn't realize the value of education until I went to college.

I think it's all a coincidence. I've pitched some poor games here and got a no-decision. But just give me the ball. I don't care where I pitch.
