When I get a chance to power jump off both legs, I can lean, twist, change directions and decide whether to dunk the ball or pass it to an open man. In other words, I may be committed to the air, but I still have some control over it.

The ones who become stars or superstars are the ones who have a head on their shoulders and know how to use it.

In a lot of areas of my life, particularly in my teenage years, I began to think about the world, and to think about the universe as being a part of my conscious everyday life.

That was just my own personal program: I didn't want to get too high over the good moments because I didn't want to be saddened and depressed when things didn't go as I had planned.

As a kid, I played a lot of one-on-none.

I live my life trying to never appear to be a small man.

You can feel the vibes, feel the people pulling for you.
