From the things I've read, I think I've been portrayed in kind of a way that makes me look like I don't put an effort into winning. I think that's completely the wrong portrayal of the person I am.

There's not one part of me that wants to go crazy and do anything out of the ordinary, but it would be nice to do something and not have it spread all over the place. But that's the world we live in now, and you either have to accept it or figure it out - or become a villain, I guess.

As a public figure, you deserve to be treated fairly.

I would like to have two or three kids.

I don't need to show anybody anything other than getting the guy out who is trying to make his money off of me.

My whole thing is that guys are working out and getting legs stronger and getting the upper body stronger, and the ligaments just aren't quite able to keep up.

When you have these big, strong power hitters who can hit the ball a country mile, and they're strong for a reason and able to do that, as a pitcher you have to keep up.

I love the idea of coming into a struggling franchise and seeing if I can help them win. First off, I hate to lose. At anything. Secondly, who doesn't want to be the guy to help turn something around?

Baseball is my job, and I love it, but it can't be the only thing I've got going on.

Dirty martinis and music - that's the big motto in our family. We get the booze going, and the music starts playing. Always old-school hip-hop. Jay-Z. Tribe Called Quest. The Pharcyde. My parents love that stuff.

I think there's a lot of learning process in figuring out what things you want to do and shouldn't do. Maturing in that way is something that comes with experience and time.

I'm not going to give up enjoying my life and doing the things that I'm interested in doing.
