[Being a coach] is totally different, but I have a new level of respect for coaching that I didn't as a player. So much is expected of you and from your team. Everything falls on your shoulders.

I enjoyed my time in Utah. It was a different area to what I was used to. The people there were very nice and it was a great organization and city. I have only good things to say about Utah.

Not having a father helping you grow into manhood and teaching you those things about how to be a man hurts. It hurt my brothers because their fathers weren't involved in their lives.

There were butterflies, otherwise, you're not really ready to play. The locker room, I remember, was quiet and we were very focused on playing that game.

Michael Jordan was a great individual and a great player. You can't say enough about what he brought to the game. He took the NBA to another level.

That's a dream of mine, to be able to coach at the NBA level.

As a young man, you get to a point in your life where you feel like you have grown up and have to make decisions and not having that father figure in your life to guide you to making those decisions.

Me and Spike Lee are good friends. I got a lot of respect for Spike just because of who he is, what he stands for, and the support for that organization. Even when it was bad he was there.

Where one does not do planning, it is all pure ‘discharge’. ‘Charge’ occurs where there is planning. Discharge is a natural characteristic. There is no pain in it.

Those who feel satisfied with their personal lives are more satisfied with their careers and perform better.

If you have to choose between your self-respect & ego and other person

I've always watched actors on the red carpet getting drunk and making idiots of themselves and now I'm happy to join their ranks

I have to make rock records occasionally.

Please tell me we don't grow up and turn into the adults that drive us crazy.

I can be in a little bit of a state of overwhelm and panic if I don't start out being connected to grace and gratitude.

You are so annoying. I could literally slap the sh*t out of you and feel so much better.

Reading is very creative - it's not just a passive thing. I write a story; it goes out into the world; somebody reads it and, by reading it, completes it.
