I guess people think the taller you are the more dominant you have to be.

That has nothing to do with basketball. That's just because I'm sexy.

I'd heard stuff from out there that I was just another player, that I was too young. I wanted to show I could play with anybody.

Why don't you bring your face up here and let me punch it? Then you can tell me (if I'm stronger).

I endorse only products I actually use. Like Wheaties keeps offering me money, but I don't eat Wheaties, so I can't do it. Now, if Rice Krispies or Frosted Flakes offered me a deal, I'd take it right away. Apple Jacks, I'd be on the box in a heartbeat. Apple Shaqs. Yeah.

Somebody asked me about this the other day. A young Shaq and a young Penny, the young Shaq's going to take over. A medium Shaq and a young Kobe, the medium Shaq is going to take over. Now you've got an older Shaq and a young Dwyane; you step aside, you let him do his thing and you just do what's asked of you.

I'm going back to the old Shaq. I was normal last year - I was an earthling last summer. I had to go back to my alien roots.
