I'm going to say this - to the people in Seattle, to all the people in Seattle that trust me, that believe in me - I'm going to say this: I'm not going to disappoint anybody.

I can't say anything I don't love about Seattle.

Gold above $600 is frightening. It appears that people expect inflation, and that people don't have trust in our currency.

I'm conservative, and people know where I stand. They can trust me to do what I say I'm going to do. I'm predictable.

Don't trust everyone, especially if they say, 'Trust me.'

In '05, '06, '07 and '08, I wasn't throwing any changeups at all. Maybe two or three per game. In '09, I started playing with the grip, started throwing it in the bullpen and playing catch. It came out really good.
