I play to see what I can accomplish. I don't play for fun. I play to see how good I can be.

Everyone watches everyone pitch. If they're doing good, you're trying to take something out of them. I've taken something from probably every average to above-average pitcher I've ever played with - what they do. You see what they do and how you can put that into your game.

I'm not a good liar. I just tell the truth; I think that's the best way.

You're not allowed to write about me if you haven't seen 'The Shawshank Redemption.' See it and then get back to me.

It's not easy to play 162 games and be focused the whole time. It takes a lot out of you.

I feel like, in general, lefties hit fastballs from right-handed pitchers better than right-handers hit fastballs from right-handed pitchers.
