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'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.

I love pitching in front of big crowds and in huge stadiums.

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.

Hitters are too big, too strong, and their bats are too quick. I have to go inside to have success.
