I'm at peace with myself. The main thing is not letting people dictate what I do or what I am.

I wanted to do two things when I was growing up, about your age. I wanted to play in the NBA, and I wanted to be a businessman after my basketball career was over, and that is what I am doing now.

On the best tactic when playing alongside Kareem Abdul-Jabbar- Just give him the ball.

The audience likes their emotions to be touched. They want to laugh and cry and feel good.

A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything. Jealousy is invariably a symptom. Just like right now with the whole mortgage crisis, I want to help people get back into their homes.

You don't have to be Magic to be special. You're already special, you're you.

People don't stop eating, and they don't stop drinking coffee.
