On a two week road trip I know I can get by better with no underwear than no laptop.
I don't have any problem with government helping entrepreneurs and businesses.
I am human, when people write bad stuff about me it bothers me, but I know that will never end.
There's not a long track record of people leaving professional sports to become a software developer.
I was such a screwup when I got to the big leagues. I was a total idiot.
I am much more of a geek than I am an athlete.
Have I said dumb things? Absolutely, who hasn't? But I have never backed away from being called out on something I did or said wrong.
Before I pitch any game, from spring training to Game 7 of the World Series, I'm scared to death.
When you're having a bad day at work, a lot of times it's your head. When you're having good days, a lot of times it's the absence of the mind.
I've made mistakes, I've misspoke, I am sure I will again sometime, but that happens, that's part of being human in my book. I'm OK with that. I've never done it maliciously, ever.
I don't hide my feelings, but when it comes to illness, I guess I don't panic. My father was the same way. I'm the provider for the family and the caretaker. If I panic, who is anybody going to run to?
The things I was allowed to experience, the people I was able to call friends, teammates, mentors, coaches and opponents, the travel, all of it, are far more than anything I ever thought possible in my lifetime.
I was raised to understand and know the difference between right and wrong.
I care what people think, but that doesn't change what I say. I am who I am.
