I want to do for rebounds what Michael Jordan did for dunks.

It's all about what they can get out of me.

If I don't finish in the top three for the next Nobel Peace Prize, something's seriously wrong.

I want to be anywhere in the world that I'm needed. I want to spread a message of peace and love throughout the world.
