I started out as a football player. I liked to inflict pain. In basketball, it was the same thing.

Somebody out there was trying to use my language and trying to speak for me. Rather than have that happen, I thought I'd do it myself. It's a fun thing. It's a way for fans to connect.

I don't believe in pressure. Pressure is when you don't know where your next meal is coming from.

Thank God I had two parents who loved me enough to stay on my case.

Opinions are like belly buttons; everybody has one. I never knock a man for his opinion.

They're going to come to me and they're going to say numbers for three years and I'm going to use my division and if it sounds good when I hear it, then I'll take it. But I'm not going to say I'll take less (than the max) . . . Put it this way. I won't take a BMW from somebody when I know I can get a Maybach from somewhere else.

They want to beat the Don Dadda. It means, 'The Man.'
