I've pitched in a lot of big games.

I let the other guys handle the talking. I love playing.

You've got to have camaraderie or togetherness on a baseball team if you want to win.

If you put the ball in the right place, you don't have to throw hard.

Whenever someone has the ability to impact people's lives, I think that's one of the greatest things that God gives us as individuals.

Whatever I do, I love to win. I don't care if it's tennis or ping pong, I'll kill myself to win it.

I feel like I should go out there and throw a shutout every time I pitch. If we score one [run] and I give up two, then I didn't do my job as far as I'm concerned.

It kills me when I make a bad pitch...I want to be perfect out there.

Never is a concept the Yankees won't ever come across.

I wanted to play for the New York Yankees. That was the bottom line. I wanted to be there and play in that new stadium.

I'm going to give up hits, so I'm going to need to get some ground balls, double plays and stuff like that. That's just kind of my game.

My theory is children don't do what you tell them to do, they do what you do. You have to always do the right thing because they follow you.

My dad always told me that perseverance furthers. He was right.

All beasts of prey are strong or treacherous.

Until you go to Kentucky and with your own eyes behold the Derby, you ain't never been nowhere and you ain't seen nothin'!

But there's wisdom in women, of more than they have known, And thoughts go blowing through them, are wiser than their own.

I am inclined to think from my own experience that the difficulty to eminence lies not in the road, but in the timidity of the traveler.
