I'm confident in myself, either way. I've pitched big games all my life.

There are no days off in our division. Even a team like Tampa Bay can beat you up.

I make too much money to play a game I love to ever feel sorry for myself.

I've definitely always wanted to be the guy they tell, 'Here's the ball. Go do it.'

I just don't see me going through that rehab and coming back to pitch at this point in my life.

Pitching is pitching. I've been doing this since I was eight-years-old, playing in my backyard with my dad. The things that work in Double-A will also work in the majors.

I'm the best. That's why I'm so relaxed out there. You've got to have some arrogant bones in your body, especially to be a pitcher in the big leagues.

Any strikeout record worth having is in a Texas pitcher's pocket. I might come join them one day.

The thing about throwing a fastball is, you want it to be easy, you want it to be effortless.

There is honey in this land sweeter than any I know of, and I have cut cane in places where the dirt itself tasted like sugar, so that's saying a heap.

The mist after rain, uninterrupted rainfall on rooftops, pitter-patter intellect. The thoughts I leave behind like footsteps.

Money is the barometer of a society's virtue.

Men are fools to invest in real estate.

The Exorcist doesn't get me, but The Omen does.

We ought to love the sinner and hate OUR sin.

Never change your originality for the sake of others because no one can play your role better than you.

When our minds are filled with light, there is no room for darkness

It took me a while to realize that basketball wasn't football.

I don't indulge in anything extravagant but I can't keep money in the bank.
