“I want to win a championship in Chicago.”

“People only care so much about trying hard, working hard.”

“I love going to the mound every fifth day to help my team win games.”

“That's why when the offseason comes, it's sacred for me, because that's the time I do those things. I take my son to baseball practice. I got my oldest son golf lessons so he can come play golf with me or he can come hang out with me and my friends.”

“I've acted like an idiot before.”

“If you're going to run a marathon you don't just go out there and run 20 miles on Day 1, you build up to that.”

“I've had a lot of good people, lot of good mentors, coaches along the way to get me where I am.”

“I'm going to bring it every fifth day or whatever day I pitch.”

“Do I regret saying business should not be first before winning? Absolutely not.”

“I do not like people filling in for me.”

“You can ask my mom, ask my dad, ask my sister, ask anybody in my family, my dad missed less than a handful of my games until I got to college. Going from that to me missing my kids' first day of school, missing my son's first Little League game, missing practices, missing games, not being there just for stuff, it's hard.”

“I remember showing up for the first day of kindergarten, Miss Springer's class, and the question was, 'What do you want to be when you get older?' I wanted to be a baseball player.”

“Tomorrow's not guaranteed. I'm not saving anything for tomorrow, because I don't know if it's coming.”

“I don't have Twitter, Facebook or any of those things. That's who I am.”

“A lot of times when something bad happens, you always try to find the good.”

“When I was young, I made mistakes. I'm not gonna shy away from it.”

“I had a growth spurt after my junior year that left me in a goofy state - which I'm still in, by the way.”

“I watched every episode of 'Breaking Bad' in, I think, 18 days.”

“I'll never understand why we need to do something on the business side on the field that might impede us winning a game.”

“Anytime you can finish a game, that's what we sign up for.”
