I used to get so nervous and upset at stuff... I'd always be angry.

I don't want people following me around, everywhere I go, people talking to me and stuff. I don't want to be walking down the street with a bodyguard. I don't think that will be an issue playing in L.A.

You're not allowed to write about me if you haven't seen 'The Shawshank Redemption.' See it and then get back to me.

I don't really think about the runs too much. I mean, if we get, like, a five-run lead, then I'll start to pitch according to that.

I remember bringing some of my other friends to our table, and everyone at our table would look at them and ask me, 'What are you doing? Why'd you bring him?' It was annoying high school stuff that still goes on now. My high school was really bad.

Baseball, in my opinion, would be a lot better if you could just make the same salary as everybody else in the world, and you don't deal with any of the other stuff. But that's not how it is. The main thing is I want to pitch against the best players in the world, and you can't do that playing in a pickup baseball league in your town.
