I make too much money to play a game I love to ever feel sorry for myself.

The thing about throwing a fastball is, you want it to be easy, you want it to be effortless.

I'm the best. That's why I'm so relaxed out there. You've got to have some arrogant bones in your body, especially to be a pitcher in the big leagues.

There are no days off in our division. Even a team like Tampa Bay can beat you up.

Pitching is pitching. I've been doing this since I was eight-years-old, playing in my backyard with my dad. The things that work in Double-A will also work in the majors.

Any strikeout record worth having is in a Texas pitcher's pocket. I might come join them one day.

I just don't see me going through that rehab and coming back to pitch at this point in my life.
