If not for the success that medicine has made, I might be part of a much different story right now.

When I was a kid, no one would believe anything positive that you could say about black people. That's a terrible burden.

My biggest resource is my mind.

I'm the baddest among the bad guys.

We all had a lot of fun making the film ["Airplane" ], but there weren't a lot of outtakes or cracking up because we all were focused on doing our jobs in a professional manner.

What I learned in my time isn't necessarily being taught now, and I'd like to help impart that knowledge to a new generation of players.

When the doctor told me I had cancer, I was scared.
