I enjoy every bit of baseball I can get.

Whether you like it or not, the last few years I'd be the first one to tell you I haven't been the Pedro Martinez that I'm used to being.

I doubt that I will get involved with politics. That's something I don't have in me.

I keep active because I have not announced my retirement, because that is something that takes time and you have to plan it. Plus, it is something that the Dominican people expected.

I do miss competing, being out there - the atmosphere, I do miss it.

Because I want to have my arm in good shape, I need to have my legs in good shape. Without a leg, there is no arm.

I'm thankful for not ever taking anything illegal.
