I like a challenge. I always have.

Every time I go out there I expect to win.

When you're from Weir, Mississippi, almost everywhere you go looks like the big city.

The pitch would normally be low, but my ball starts carrying and stays on a sustained plane. Everyone always complains - 'that ball is low' - but then you go back and look at the tape, and it's right there. My catchers tell me, and the hitters tell me, that the ball stays true flight the last five or six feet.

I always heard that I was too small.

They pay you to pitch and that's what I'm going to do.

I've always been a guy who likes big games.
