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.

People who say they're not nervous - I would be kind of curious to see how successful you are at what you do and how long you've done it. And what is success in your eyes? Have you separated yourself from everyone else in that craft? Or have you settled amongst the pack?

The word 'potential' used to hang over me like a cloud.

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