I'm hungrier than those other guys out there. Every rebound is a personal challenge.

I'm the basketball version of a gravedigger.

Fifty percent of life in the NBA is sex. The other 50 percent is money.

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

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

I'm just saying I'm being myself, and people understand that.

I didn't want to be known as Madonna's playboy, her boy toy.
