I was a jock.

I don't think that I'm old.

I’m not a big believer in vitamins and all that stuff.

I’ve always approached spring training as I have something to prove.

I’ve had some great examples in my career of how to do things the right way.

I think it’s all a coincidence. I’ve pitched some poor games here and got a no-decision. But just give me the ball. I don’t care where I pitch.

Work ethic has always been stressed in my family. My dad is going to be 80 years old and he still works part time. My mom just retired a couple years ago and she’s in her mid- to late 70s.

I’ve pitched too many innings and pitched too many years – one game doesn’t make or break my career.

I’m not the No. 1 starter. I’m not the guy that’s going to carry the staff for four months out of the season, but I can contribute in a lot of ways. And to me I’m very proud of that.

I’ve kind of looked at my whole career as a spring training invite.
