I knew that the Mets had never had a no-hitter. I never had one. This is very special. I knew this means a lot to New York.

It's good to be compared with Randy Johnson, and it's wonderful to be compared to all the best pitchers in the game.

I have to drink a lot of fluids, try not to dehydrate, and keep stretching.

I don't feel my best right now, but at the same time, I'm not trying to find any excuses or anything.

It's a great feeling for me just to put my uniform on and be part of my team.

I don't try for strikeouts, but batters just swing and miss. I'd exchange strikeouts for more innings. As a starter, my job is to go deep into the game. When you get strikeouts, you throw a lot of pitches and sometimes you come out early.

I know what to do when they give me the ball. I know what to do to give this team a chance to win.
