Any time I've taken the mound, it's always been the old Samson-and-Goliath story written about me.

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

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

I had a million-dollar arm, but I wasn't thinking enough about how to be a pitcher.

I learned a lot from not having success, and realizing when you do have success, how hard it is to maintain it, and what you have to do to maintain it.

I would think flying would be pretty cool. You would be able to fly away from all your enemies and get where you're going much faster. But being invisible? You probably wouldn't use that for the good of man.

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.
