There are so many things on Twitter, so many mentions, it's hard to get through all of them.
You feel everybody has your best interests in mind, but you come to find out that's not necessarily the case.
I don't think I've ever been as humbled as I have been in Pilates. It's incredible how much body control and how much isolated strength you have to have to complete these movements successfully.
That's one of my focuses, is to increase my flexibility and strength and have greater range of motion.
I wouldn't want to disappoint my family, my friends, my fans.
You rarely see any blowout games.
At the end of the day, all we're trying to do is get the hitter off balance. Get him in a position where he's not strong in the strike zone.

The numbers are hard to control.
Immersing myself in the Wrigleyville area was special to me and my family.
There's not many guys that can pitch at the top of the rotation floating around the league.
I'm probably throwing down close to 10,000 calories. And then I don't eat for three or four days.
Sometimes, when I break my hands, I kind of go too far behind my body, and what that will do, wherever my right arm's going to go, my left arm's going to go.
It's just a continuous process, trying to work through it, trying find that comfort zone and go from there. That's kind of where I'm at. I feel pretty good about where I'm at.
