Oh, poor me (jokingly, after being told that Randy Johnson & Pedro Martinez would make more in 2003 than he would). What do I do now? I guess I'll have to get a second job.

The reason I think I'm a good pitcher is I locate my fastball and I change speeds. Period. That's what you do to pitch. That's what pitchers have to do to win games

The best pitchers have a short term memory and a bullet proof confidence.

I could probably throw harder if I wanted, but why? When they're in a jam, a lot of pitchers...try to throw harder. Me, I try to locate better.

If you are content with yourself, you'll stop taking those little steps forward and begin taking big steps backward.

What has benefited me the most is learning I can't control what happens outside of my pitching.

The key to pitching is to have the ability to throw a strike when they're taking and throw a ball when the hitter is swinging.

People judge too much by results. I'm just the opposite. I care about more than results. I'd rather make a good pitch and give up a bloop single than make a bad pitch and get an out.

You're not going to win by automatically going out there. It's hard to know what people really expect of you, and I've never tried to live up to expectations anyway. That's no way to play baseball.

I'd rather try and not win than not try at all

Regardless of where you're pitching, regardless of what goes on before or after your game, you still have to be ready.

A scholar knows not to waste time rediscovering information already known.

His voice is hoarse. "I am going to make love to you now." He says, "So if you want me to stop, tell me."I shake my head frantically. If he stops at this point, I'll probably die.

We do not need an imported system for falsifying elections! We will create our own, one run by the state!

No better relation than a prudent and faithful friend.

Fly me to the moon, let me play among the stars.

It is good the have a hatch before the durre.

As a good man, if you throw a stone to a bad person, you yourself become a bad man!

The great majority of men grow up and grow old in seeming and following.

Truth-loving Persians do not dwell upon The trivial skirmish fought near Marathon.

I've never been a competition guy.
