If I’m a young black man in South Central L.A., where poverty is rampant and unemployment is skyrocketing, I see that Washington’s promises of a year ago have gone unfulfilled, I see that perhaps for a second time, the court’s inability to mete out justice in a blind fashion, why shouldn’t I vent my anger?

I once read that the only way to enjoy life is to observe everything with a sense of detached amusement. I don't always do that, but it serves you well to keep it in mind.

The other sports are just sports. Baseball is a love.

I feel responsibility for a lot of things that I manage to touch.

Success takes the courage to know who you really are and be comfortable with that.

You'll never see me working five days a week again.

I'm still going to do television. I'm just not going to do morning television. I would like to do some things that satisfy interests, private interests.
