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

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.

That no-hitter stuff was a long time ago; I don't think that has anything to do with it. I'm just going through a tough time.

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.

We're proud of Venezuela and Venezuelan baseball. People in America don't realize it, but we've got 25, 30 million people here, and so many of us love baseball. This is a great place to look for talent.

To see all the fans getting into it, that's pretty special.
