It's amazing to see where baseball can take you.

I'm not a big thinker. The less thinking the better.

I get paid a bunch of money to do this, and so there's a responsibility to my teammates, every single day, to show up and be the absolute best you can be.

I don't care how you get the outs. It doesn't matter to me how bad it looks, how good it looks, how many strikeouts you have. None of that stuff matters as long as you get the outs.

Saying you're a Christian shouldn't turn people off. You should love people well and that's Jesus' first commandment!

Everyone talks about how hard it is to have a kid, and that scares you into waiting.

I've been fortunate my whole career because I've had great guys to learn from.

I love L.A. I love being out here.

I was given a gift to throw a baseball. I didn't do anything to deserve that.

Baseball is so hard as it is. For me, if you simplify it, it takes a little bit of the weight off, rather than trying to figure out all these other things. It's just peace of mind.

I watch all the pitchers I admire. I love watching Cliff Lee. It looks easy for him when he's on the mound; he's almost like an artist. He knows exactly how to get guys out.

All the individual stuff is great, but I just want to win a World Series.

You can make a lot of cases that you can take the win stat out of the game and you can still figure out who the good pitchers are, and I agree with that to some extent. But there's something about your win-loss record, there's something about having wins by your name that means something. Regardless of how important that is.

I'm a big Taylor Swift fan. I really like her song 'Mean.'

If we have a good day and we win, I'll celebrate and enjoy it. If I have a bad day and I lose, I'll be disappointed and then come back the next day and think about the next team.

The Steph Currys, the Jordan Spieths, those guys are exciting to watch.

I'm a big sports fan even outside of baseball. I love watching guys that are supposed to be great, and are great, live up to the expectations. So I really appreciate consistency.

Regardless on winning the Cy Young, I have one goal that never changes, and that's to win every start.

You never want to be in a defensive mode or have a defensive mindset. You always want to know that you're in control as the pitcher, you make him get hits, you're never passive, always aggressive. If I get beat, I want it to be because I got rocked, got hit hard, never because I walked a couple of guys and before you know it.

I've kind of found out that when I do get into trouble, that when I do have people on base, sometimes the best thing is to throw a little bit more off-speed, back off a little bit.

It's just amazing the providence God had in my life. God was there the whole time, I just didn't bother to look.

Baseball is going to end some day. I realize that as soon as you retire you know, people forget about you in this game fast! There's the next young guy coming up that's always better than you. So, for me, it's just about using baseball as a platform to do a lot of things.

All I really try to do is whatever hitter gets in there, I just try to get him out in as few pitches as possible.

The way I look at it, 29 teams fail every year and one team succeeds.
