I'm 27 and guys are pitching into their 40s now. For unfortunate reasons, I haven't been healthy since 2005. But I feel that I have a lot of great years ahead of me.

My parents didn't raise me to be a professional player. They raised me to be a good person.

If the fans think I'm a savior, that's fine. But they have to understand I'm one of 25 guys. I can't do it all.

I don't think I've shied away from anybody. I'm not scared. I respect hitters, but I'm not afraid.

The way I pitch is the way I pitch. I'm not going to change my overall philosophy. I'll just go out and pitch.

I'm not a guy who is out trying to promote myself. It's really not me.

I'm not going to change. I'm not going to start clubbing or going out in limos. I'm laid-back, and I'm going to stay that way.

I feel like the harder the work, the better off I'll be later in the season. If I don't work out, it's not so much my letting me down as it is letting everybody else down.

Joy in the Holy spirit is one of the signs of the kingdom of God

There is no problem you can't take absolute advantage of.

One must speak in such a way that although someone else, or many others, or an infinite number of people have said it before, it seems as though you said it first.

You simply don't get to be wise, mature, etc., unless you've been a raving cannibal for thirty years or so.

Remember America, I gave you the Internet and I can take it away.

You've gotta share what's going on in your mind.

We have gaps that are rooted in systemic racism.

If you are to advance, all fixed ideas must go.

I give no sources, because it is indifferent to me whether what I have thought has already been thought before me by another.

Reading a text is more like tracing this process of constant flickering than it is like counting the beads on a necklace.
