Sometimes my arm wants to throw a hard fastball, but my brain doesn't want to throw it that hard.

I don't throw the slider and I haven't really thrown the slow curve anymore. I can't throw to bases anymore. It used to be the easiest thing in the world to do.

I don't mind people looking at me. That's never bothered me. I don't want them looking at me in my house; now that would bother me.

I don't want people following me around, everywhere I go, people talking to me and stuff. I don't want to be walking down the street with a bodyguard. I don't think that will be an issue playing in L.A.

Brad Pitt has something about him to where he's played different characters in all his movies, and every single time after he's done, I want to be him.

Baseball, in my opinion, would be a lot better if you could just make the same salary as everybody else in the world, and you don't deal with any of the other stuff. But that's not how it is. The main thing is I want to pitch against the best players in the world, and you can't do that playing in a pickup baseball league in your town.
