I don't wait for people to give me respect. I always give them respect.

I am not a father who wants to give his kids everything. They have to earn it.

I want to give my respect, glory and time to the Bible - to the word of God - just as I want to give my respect and time to my work.

Every day I come to the ballpark, I thank God that I'm wearing this uniform, for giving me the opportunity to be successful and last that long. To pitch that long and do it good, for the New York Yankees. It's great.
