I want to give my respect, glory and time to the Bible - to the word of God - just as I want to give my respect and time to my work.

I don't have control over everything; God has control over everything and I trust him, so I don't worry.

I see the hitter when he's moved in the box, like when he's moved closer to the plate or changed his stance. I see when the batter has moved his feet, and then I make my own adjustment.

I get over bad games right away. Sometimes I've let it go even before I've left the mound. That quick. Why? Because it's over. What can you do about it? Nothing. The only thing you can do is fight if you're still in the game. After that you can do nothing.

If I have to win one game, I’d have a hard time taking anybody over Dustin Pedroia as my second baseman.

I like a calm life where nobody bothers me.

I don't think any professional accepts defeat.
