Of course parents want their children to confide in them.

I lost control of myself a couple times in the playoffs. I have to keep cooler in the future.

I want to raise a family and have a couple of small Dirks running around. But it will not be easy to win my heart.

I take my sport damned seriously. Basketball is my life. There are other people who go into important games as if they were any other game. I'm a brooder and I spend a lot of time thinking about my opponent, about the things he can do and about what I have to do to win. I don't think I'll ever be able to change that.

As a star you never know when people are really serious.

Basketball gave me a lot, which is why I want to stay connected with this sport later on, maybe working with young people. But it would be more in the background. Being in the spotlight was never really my thing. I never wanted to be famous.

I'm not the kind of guy who just goes up to women.
