The word 'potential' used to hang over me like a cloud.
When you win, you want more of it. You can't win enough.
When you can throw 97 miles an hour and put the ball over the plate anytime you want, it's fun.
I had a long conversation with Steve Carlton. He told me that on the days he pitched, he felt it was his responsibility to make everyone around him better, to lift his teammates. Thats what I try to do.
I expect to win. I've never been content with anything I've ever done.
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.
