I'm not a big believer in vitamins and all that stuff.

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.

I've kind of looked at my whole career as a spring training invite.

I was raised in a very blue-collar family.

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.

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

I came to realize in my late 20s that my velocity is not going to grow so I had to learn to utilize what I had.
