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.

Ever since I was a little kid, the last thing I wanted to do was lose. I hated losing. I still hate it. I guess you can see that when I'm out there.

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

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.

True education creates a new reality for humanity.

I never want to make screw-you money like the rest of the financial services industry.

there is no best and no worst, ...those judgments have no real meaning because there is only what is

A surgeon would never hesitate to amputate a rotting hand, no matter how faithfully it had served its owner in the past.
