I'm hoping to learn something new every day. It sounds corny, but I really do come in here every day, listening and talking with the veteran guys and seeing what I can absorb.

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

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 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.'

I use high velocity to keep hitters off balance.

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.

All I know is that if I continue to pitch well, good things will keep happening.
