My parents didn't raise me to be a professional player. They raised me to be a good person.

I'm not a guy who is out trying to promote myself. It's really not me.

The way I pitch is the way I pitch. I'm not going to change my overall philosophy. I'll just go out and pitch.

I don't think I've shied away from anybody. I'm not scared. I respect hitters, but I'm not afraid.

My parents didn't raise me to be a professional player. They raised me to be a good person.

If the fans think I'm a savior, that's fine. But they have to understand I'm one of 25 guys. I can't do it all.

I'm 27 and guys are pitching into their 40s now. For unfortunate reasons, I haven't been healthy since 2005. But I feel that I have a lot of great years ahead of me.
