I'm a tough guy, and I like pitching in tough games.

I know winning 20 is a special kind of thing, but I'd rather get into the playoffs, and be strong for the playoffs.

Because I have so much life on my pitches, I can get away with getting too much of the plate every now and then.

My dad always told me to play hard and know that the people you're competing with and against are working just as hard or harder. So don't let them out-work you.

I've matured a lot as a pitcher. I understand what my strengths are. I've learned that I've got a great sinker, I get a lot of ground balls, and it's easy to get a ground-ball double play.

I look at scouting reports, but don't let them dictate what I'm throwing.

I really can't complain about anything. I'm living a childhood dream and I have a perfect family. There's really nothing that I'm disappointed with.
