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

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.

Anything I can do, you can do better. It is a matter of belief backed by desire.

If people think nature is their friend then they sure don't need an enemy.

The things we remember best are those better forgotten.

Ah, what without a heaven would be even love!--a perpetual terror of the separation that must one day come.

I don't know that I've seen a lot of things I've done from beginning to end. I think I've seen clips and freaked out. I'm not somebody who watches things they've done.

I've heard about you. I've heard about you, too.

When you listen generously to people they can hear the truth in themselves, often for the first time.

There is no love. There's only love of men and women, love Of children, love of friends, of men, of God: Divine love, human love, parental love, Roughly discriminated for the rough.

Open your Eyes, for this World is only a Dream.

Nothing has tended more to retard the advancement of science than the disposition in vulgar minds to vilify what they cannot comprehend.
