"There are no days off in our division. Even a team like Tampa Bay can beat you up."
"I want to be that good. I want to be Barry Bonds. I want when I pitch to be 'Win Day.' I want my teammates to relax on the days I pitch because they know they only have to get us a couple of runs. I'm totally prepared for that."

"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."
