I am an emotional pitcher, but I can control it. When I was in high school, I was a little immature and I let my emotions get the best of me.

I think that a starting pitcher has to do something special to be as valuable or more so than a position player.

If you expect greatness, greatness shouldn't surprise you.

I like to challenge hitters with a 'Here it is, hit it,' mentality. It's definitely a big part of my game, especially when I get in situations where I need it. I usually save a little bit so it's there for me.

I am always going to be working on location, even if I have a 20-year career. Talk to me in 15 years and I will still be working on location. It's something I can always do better. Right now, it's not nearly where it could be, so it gives me something to work on every day.

I kind of realized I couldn't blow the ball by everybody. In high school I could do that, but now it's not going to work. I need to pitch.'
