I'm a GM in fantasy basketball and I'm a GM on PlayStation, so on PlayStation I probably would have got a little more, but this is real life, so I don't know.

You never get what you deserve; only what you have the leverage to negotiate.

I Hated Duke. I Felt Like They Only Recruited Black Players That Were Uncle Toms.

Lies don't matter, ... There's no merit to it. It's kind of hard to entertain foolishness when it has no merit.

I don't mind being a professional. As an athlete you are a role model, people are watching what you wear, listening to everything you say.

Name 12 players better than me.

There's always going to be criticism when your name is Jalen. You have to wear a bulletproof vest and be ready for it.

Even bad teams have optimism. You don't want to take away the optimism so early in the season. The Bad News Bears coach wouldn't even tell (his team) that.

A pat on the back can often motivate more than currency notes!

I wrote '('Til) I Kissed You' about a girl I met in Australia. Her name was Lilian, and she was very, very inspirational. I was married, but... I wrote the song about her on the way back home.

Casting a film is to me one of the most important things next to the writing. If you cast it properly everything takes place very easily. If you cast it improperly you're fighting an uphill battle.

Rather than becoming discouraged, know that encountering a wall is proof of the progress that you have made so far.

You always end up getting involved in things because of, you know, the strange things your life brings you into contact with.

The British invasion certainly made a lot of noise in the record industry.

I never expected the White House to be warm, and the artwork on the walls was extraordinary. I am a fan of the Louvre, but being there it was almost just as good.

Things become clear when there is no escape.

There is in every artist's studio a scrap heap of discarded works in which the artist's discipline prevailed against his imagination.

These are not dark days: these are great days - the greatest days our country has ever lived.
