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.

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.

When I'm healthy, I can still pitch. I know I can still pitch at that level and get the results that I want.

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

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

Nolan Ryan helped me with baseball, and my dad passing away gave me a bigger heart.

It's hard to mix with a crowd when you're walking down the hallway and everybody else is a foot shorter. I remember hanging out with my friends, like at the mall, and thinking people were staring at me and talking about me. It made me turn inside myself. I became more shy and quiet.
