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.

I'm having fun and I'm not even trying to do much. Everything is coming together.

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

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

Dreams can come true, but you have to go for it.

I just wanted to be like my dad, Jesus. He was a good shortstop.

My changeup looks like a fastball, but one goes straight and the other goes away from the righthanded hitter. Sometimes it cuts by itself, and I don't know where it's going.
