I'm going to give up hits, so I'm going to need to get some ground balls, double plays and stuff like that. That's just kind of my game.

I let the other guys handle the talking. I love playing.

You've got to have camaraderie or togetherness on a baseball team if you want to win.

If you put the ball in the right place, you don't have to throw hard.

Whenever someone has the ability to impact people's lives, I think that's one of the greatest things that God gives us as individuals.

Whatever I do, I love to win. I don't care if it's tennis or ping pong, I'll kill myself to win it.

I feel like I should go out there and throw a shutout every time I pitch. If we score one [run] and I give up two, then I didn't do my job as far as I'm concerned.

It kills me when I make a bad pitch...I want to be perfect out there.

Never is a concept the Yankees won't ever come across.

I wanted to play for the New York Yankees. That was the bottom line. I wanted to be there and play in that new stadium.

He (Tommy Pettitte [father] coached me as kid. He bought all the books and videos and tried to learn as much about pitching as he could. But once I was in high school, he never tried to be my coach.

May Lord revive and restore you to good health.

I know that I'm doomed and I'm not going to struggle against my fate. I am only writing this down so that when you do not see me any more you will know that my enemy has finally triumphed.

Don't sweat the small stuff.

The devil's name is dullness.

People who think they are free eventually end up slaves to their own desires, and those who give their freedom away to the only One you can trust with that freedom eventually get it back.

Another day gone and no jokes.

I don't know if it's a romantic comedy but I'm in the beginning of the first of the season of "The West Wing." We shot it last year. I don't know. If anyone asks me to be in one, I'll jump on it.

Snoop [Dog] is my favorite artist of all time. He's someone I look up to.

Every long travel changes man!

Too many words are lit for a beast of burden.
