I think there's a lot of learning process in figuring out what things you want to do and shouldn't do. Maturing in that way is something that comes with experience and time.

The learning process is something you can incite, literally incite, like a riot.

Learning is as much an attitude as it is an activity.

You made a lot of mistakes, and you wrote a lot of crap. But it was all part of the learning process.

When I'm out there on the mound, I'm fighting for my teammates, fighting for the ability to stay in the game for a long time. It's war. I see the hitter - I think about what I want to do, but it's a very quick process. Then I attack. It's almost primal.

Every record I do is a learning process for how I want to do the next one.
