Let's put it in old movie Mafia terms. There are guys that are in position to get by but they didn't wait their turn. They back-doored the top guy to get the power. For example, Sonny Corleone went up there, and he wanted to be the top guy. And the Godfather said, 'You know what dude, I'm a star.' That's what I'm doing now, and that's what I was trying to do with what's-his-name.

He's the Italian version of my father. I don't know if he's Italian or not.

For all my friends in the media who like quotes, mark this quote down. From this day on I'd like to be known as 'The Big Aristotle' because Aristotle once said, 'Excellence is not a singular act; it's a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.'

I'm playing like Eric Dampier.

(The Hack-A-Shaq is) just a way of telling me that you can't stop me. Thank you. I appreciate it.

Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit.

Talk to the guys that ain't doing nothing, don't talk to me. I just want eight guys out there with me who want to play.
