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

I know, it's amazing, but I never feel like I have done anything. When people say that, it makes me uncomfortable because I'm not that kind of person. I just go out there and try to do my job.

I like a calm life where nobody bothers me.

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.

From my father's side I got the strength, the mental toughness, the heart, the courage.

If you don't control your emotions, your emotions will control your acts, and that's not good.
