I want people to understand that I intend to continue living and doing all the things that I love to do up until the end. And the end is by no means rushing up on me.

I think a lot of people, if they get the opportunity to do some acting, they think, 'I might be a star.'

I've always tried to stay out of the fray and not be an object of controversy.

When the line started to blur between the fans and the players, sometimes things can get ugly.

The first time I shot the hook, I was in fourth grade, and I was about five feet eight inches tall. I put the ball up and felt totally at ease with the shot. I was completely confident it would go in. I've been shooting it ever since.

Basketball is an endurance sport, and you have to learn to control your breath; that's the essence of yoga, too. So, I consciously began using yoga techniques in my practice and playing. I think yoga helped reduce the number and severity of injuries I suffered. As preventative medicine, it's unequaled.

You can't win if you don't play as a unit.
