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

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.

Most people aren't happy about being consistent and staying at the same place for years. People want forward progress and motion.

I believe people have to be open to what's happening when they're alive.
