I know what kind of pitcher Whitey was, and I know what kind of person Whitey is. It makes me feel proud to be a Yankee. We're keeping this in the family.

I don't wait for people to give me respect. I always give them respect.

I learned early in my life that sometimes I'm going to lose. I don't like it, but I accept it, meaning that I understand it's going to happen. But I don't see it like defeat; I see it like a learning process. Then if there's nothing to learn, I move on.

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

I'm not used to seeing the ball go wherever she wants. As a pitcher, I like to be - I don't want to say perfect, but I want to know what the ball is going to do.

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

You can’t second-guess baseballyou can’t second-guess yourself.
