This life is like a swimming pool. You dive into the water, but you can't see how deep it is.

I'm fighting against becoming soft. That's the worst thing you can say to a basketball player.

I felt like calling attention to AIDS. I had the AIDS ribbon colored into my hair during the playoffs in '95.

Sometimes I'm not even satisfied when I got 6 points and 22 rebounds, because I'm always looking to do more.

It's just like we do over here in America, right? It's amazing that we have presidents over here do the same thing, right? It's amazing that Bill Clinton could do one thing and have sex with his secretary and really get away with it and still be powerful.

If I die young, everybody's going to say they saw it coming.

These people didn't know anything about black people, so the only thing they could imagine was the worst thing.
