But if people are buying the products, naturally they're gonna use them.

This is where young players today want to land. They want to be NBA players because of the money.

When you play against different people from all walks of life you can't do the same thing against every player defensively or offensively. You have to change up the way you go at a player.

I'd like to think that the nature of the two teams - Boston being a championship team over the years and the Lakers, same thing - was a lot bigger than Larry Bird or Magic Johnson.

It's a sad commentary when I have to say that sometimes in our country we are real sensitive to race.

Some players are more physical than others, some play with more finesse. Some are just really great all-around players. So you have to change your game.

I played when I played, and played, I think, against the greatest players in the greatest time in the history of basketball.

I think that everyone should be able to dribble. Everyone should be able to pass. Otherwise, why are you out there?

You have to teach now - tell a kid how to box out, tell him how to pass, teach him footwork. Players don't understand that anymore.

We're all Americans trying to compete. Magic was competing for his team and Larry for his team.

It is important to recognize the limited ability of the legal system to prescribe and enforce the quality of social arrangements.

Why cover the same ground again? ... It goes against my grain to repeat a tale told once, and told so clearly.

The world seems to me excruciatingly, almost painfully beautiful at times, and the goodness and kindness of people often exceed that which even I expect.

If people did not compliment one another there would be little society.

As the old joke goes, I have all the sins together. I am a woman, a Socialist, separated and agnostic.

I came in as an established artist. People were hiring me for what I did and for who I was. I think that has given me a vast amount of leeway; I feel so lucky that I came in that way.

In the great artist you see daring bound by discipline and discipline stretched by daring.

These are icons to be treasured.

I was not naturally talented. I didn't sing, dance or act, though working around that minor detail made me inventive.

For me, moving from photography to film was very easy.
