I expect to win. I've never been content with anything I've ever done.

I listened to all types of music, and obviously when I got to Seattle I was very much aware of the music scene there.

When you win, you want more of it. You can't win enough.

Greg Maddux is probably the best pitcher in all of baseball along with Roger Clemens. He's much more intelligent than I am because he doesn't have a 95 or 98 mph fastball. I would tell any pitcher who wants to be successful to watch him, because he's the true definition of a pitcher.

I threw a lot of balls and walked a lot of batters. Not something I'm proud of, but something I learned from.

Maybe I've lost a little, but I think everyone does over time. People have been writing that I'm getting old every year, and eventually they're going to be right. There's nobody in this game that's doing the same things they once did in the peak years of their career.

Work hard. And have patience. Because no matter who you are, you're going to get hurt in your career and you have to be patient to get through the injuries.
