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. ”

I started really believing and understanding what it meant to be a follower of Jesus when I was probably in high school sometime. From there, just trying to draw on my faith since then. ”

Baseball could end tomorrow but you're just understanding that God is in control of it and we are not. ”

I think more than anything, just putting in perspective what this baseball thing means and understanding that it is a gift and I didn't do anything to deserve that and realizing that if we continue to look to God to guide our path, you never know what could happen. ”

There's a lot of times that you got to put yourself out there to fail, you can't be afraid to fail. ”

Just try to live in moment as much as you can each pitch, not worry about what happened after the past has happened. ”

It's always great to do something to impact kids in sports. ”

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

Your career goes fast, just a blink of an eye and you're an ex-baseball player, longer than you are a baseball player. I try not to think about it too much, but it seems like it does go fast. ”

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