I grew up thinking the best job in the world would be a Jedi and being a psychologist is the closest thing I could get, so I wanted to be a Jedi and I don't want to be a Sith, so that is what keeps me on the straight and narrow.

You are axes, in a world of wood. And the wood remembers when it has been cut, even if the axe forgets.

I'm a nerd. I like to sit in the library. I don't like to sweat.

I wasn't going to let Jerry Sloan embarrass me, because basketball had a proper role in my life. I suspected my basketball philosophy wasn't the bottom line anyway.

In the NBA you need a little bit more than that when Jordan is front of you. You need a little bit more than that when it is Barkley or Karl Malone or Shaq or whoever else. You need a lot more than that frankly if you're the English kid who can't jump.

I've been captivated by the idea of being on a basketball court and being surrounded by people who made me look a little bit less like a freak.

I'd probably have to leave home in order to become a basketball player of any note.
