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

I don't expect anyone to give me anything.

I've had some great examples in my career of how to do things the right way.

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

I've pitched too many innings and pitched too many years - one game doesn't make or break my career.

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