I can cook a little bit but pretty much when I get back from practice I am pretty tired that I just order out.

You can't really get into regular football after you watch Australian rules football because it's just two different ends of the totem pole.

A lot of rookies hit the wall after 50 or 60 games.

In Australian culture, people are just more laid back, people aren't as serious, they just take their time with things. It's just like, whatever, if I don't get it done I don't get it done.

I'm not going to put my energy into dunking every time I get the ball. That's stupid.

Winning the Rookie of the Year would be nice but making the playoffs would be even nicer for me.

I've had two unlucky injuries that are the equivalent of walking under 1,000 ladders and seeing 1,000 black cats.

What I would say is I've only had one injury in my NBA career, that was probably was because my core wasn't strong enough, when I had a stress fracture in my back.

I want to reach the top with it all--business, family and faith!

But then again, maybe 'I will' is nicer. It has the future in it. 'I do' just has the present.

My affection for you is not my problem.

War is an absolute failure of imagination, scientific and political. That a war can be represented as helping a people to 'feel good' about themselves, or their country, is a measure of that failure.

I am certain that the safest way to defend your character is never to say a word about it.

I will continue modeling until they don't want me anymore basically because I do love it very much.

I feel there are two people inside me - me and my intuition. If I go against her, she'll screw me every time, and if I follow her, we get along quite nicely.

This religion (Islam) recognizes all men as brothers. It accepts all human beings as equals before God, and as equal members in the Human Family of Mankind.

Numbers are limits, and perfection doesn't have limits.

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.' You won't believe what you can accomplish by attempting the impossible with the courage to repeatedly fail better.
