I think a lot of ladies found me so attractive because I was different, and I acted on that in a way.

My thing I liked was to challenge guys that were smaller, guys that were supposed to be quicker. Because I think self-consciously I was trying to prove to people it wasn't just my height that was getting me across in these various sports. It was some other intrinsic things that I had that made me a good athlete.

Scoring 100 points is a lot, but I maybe could have scored 140 if they had played straight-up basketball.

And I remember leaving my place in L.A. and - my father is a big fight fan - and I said, 'Dad, I got a couple of days off and I'm getting ready to go to Houston to sign to fight Muhammad Ali.

We make too much of winning. The mere fact of winning doesn't make you great.

All of the sudden, my right leg caved in. I crumpled to the floor in pain. The doctor weren't sure I'd ever be able to play again...and even if I did recover physically, the psychological scars of so traumatic an injury might never heal.

Villains are kind of hard to really know on a personal level when you see them as mean, unsensitive-type people.
