I love to play music. I'm terrible at it, but I love learning about it .

When I'm at a show, I'm yelling and cheering. I'm with those guys [the Grateful Dead].

I grew up in a classical music household. My dad is a phenomenal musician who can play any and all instruments, can sight read, can play by ear.

I hate to say anything that may hurt UCLA, but I can't be quiet when I see what the NCAA is doing to Jerry Tarkanian only because he has a reputation for giving a second chance to many black athletes other coaches have branded as troublemakers. The NCAA is working night and day trying to get Jerry, but no one from the NCAA ever questioned me during my four years at UCLA!

[Music is] so inspirational in terms of making me want to become better.

There is absolutely no way the best team in the NCAA could even dream of beating the worst team in the NBA? You're talking about men vs. boys.

Kevin Garnett is the prototype for the NBA player of the future. He's already one of the greatest players to have played the game.
