I am not a father who wants to give his kids everything. They have to earn it.

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

I don't feel invincible because I'm human.

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'm telling you, God loves a lot of people.

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.

My father was strict and always taught me, no matter who it is, everybody is an uncle. To me, everybody was someone I respect like family. I grew up with that.
