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'm a simple guy, you know? If I do something, it's not going to be, 'Look at this, look at that.' It just happens.

You're just trying to throw the best pitch you can and make sure you hit your spots. I don't have to force nobody.

I think God gave talent to different people in different areas.

I demand my kids be respectful, responsible and grateful. And they have to love the Lord with all their hearts.

Every time before I throw my first pitch, I am praying. And not only that, in the bullpen I am praying.

I know there are millions of people praying for me, and I strongly believe in prayers.
