"Hey, hitting is hard-if you make good pitches that aren't elevated in the zone, you're going to have success."
"I always believed I had enough stuff to win here. It took me a while to learn how to use it."
"I don't like the feeling of losing."
"I feel confident I can go out there and finish a game with 120 pitches."
"I just want my sign and I want to throw it. I think it keeps everybody on their toes."
"I'm no Bob Gibson. I can tell you that."
"I've gone through a lot, and not all of it was easy. But it couldn't have worked out better. Things happen for a reason, and this is the reason."
"My approach never changes from start to start."
"My cutter has been key for me, and my curveball. I've been able to spot them where I want to spot them."
"My goal is to get outs as soon as I can. Strikeouts aren't that big a deal to me."
"My thing is to be ready to pitch every five days and give my team a chance to win."
"Strike one is a big, big pitch-you can do a lot after you get strike one, no matter how you get it."
"That is an amazing thing (winning the 2005 Cy Young Award). I was just telling my wife after I found out that I won, you think about the Cardinals organization and the history of this organization, how many people, how may pitchers came through this organization, how many great pitchers came through this organization, how many great seasons all those guys had, and to be the only one besides Mr. Gibson to win the Cy Young is crazy. This organization has been around for a long time with a lot of great history, a lot of great pitchers, and to be in that company is just crazy."
