I wanted to avoid service, because I was on the road to becoming a professional basketball player.

If you do the best you can, you have nothing to be ashamed of. A defeat is not a disgrace.

I always wanted to be a basketball player. Nothing more, nothing less.

I thought basketball was a game for women. My mother played basketball, and so did my sister.

I know, basketball is a dance. I didn't understand the significance of that type of training at first. I was supposed to read poems.

Growing up, my idols were Lucky Luke and Jolly Jumper. And Scottie Pippen.

I'm not the kind of guy who just goes up to women.

This feeling to be on the best team of the world is just indescribable.

I want to raise a family and have a couple of small Dirks running around. But it will not be easy to win my heart.

I came up with my own 'Dream Shake' I guess - the white version.

I lost control of myself a couple times in the playoffs. I have to keep cooler in the future.

I never have planned a whole lot of future. It's one day at a time.

In the moment of acting you don't feel like anything, you feel like the person, as much as you can.

Space, space: architects always talk about space! But creating a space is not automatically doing architecture. With the same space, you can make a masterpiece or cause a disaster.

The most important job of an editor is simplify, simplify simplify, and that usually means omitting things.

Without ELF, I'm just an empty shell. I'll always love E.L.F., even if E.L.F. already forgot about SJ.

I am not an objective reporter. I prefer to go further, to the unstated things of our existence. What I can't understand and grasp seems to lead me.
