I enjoy every bit of baseball I can get.

Some of the things I've done are really special.

I'm thankful for not ever taking anything illegal.

You can't have a family when you're playing because you're away from home so much. So believe me, I won't be pitching forever. I won't make it to 300 wins or anything like that. No way.

I remember quotes in the paper, 'Here comes the man that New York loves to hate.' Man? None of you have probably ever eaten steak with me or rice and beans with me to understand what the man is about. You might say the player, the competitor, but the man? You guys have abused my name. You guys have said so many things, have written so many things.

I believe I have a responsibility that goes along with the money I make. I can help a lot of people.

None of the teams that actually probably were offering me a job from the getgo, actually in spring training, are in the playoffs right now.
