Someday I might have to put down a basketball and have a regular 9-to-5 like everybody else.

The Big Cactus... because if you come too close, you're gonna get stuck.

I knew I was dog meat. Luckily, I'm the high-priced dog meat that everybody wants. I'm the good-quality dog meat. I'm the Alpo of the NBA.

They shot the ball well early. What comes out of the microwave hot doesn't always stay hot. I know, because I eat bagels in the morning.

The stats win nothing. I'm still sexy. I'm still great.

You know, I'm very photogenic.

No one calls me out, I'm from LSU.

I put a lot into it, and when I am done playing, I plan on going undercover and then being the sheriff or chief of police somewhere, either Miami or Orlando, I don't know yet.

I just put the reflexes in the proper direction.

Love preserves one moment for ever, the moment of its birth. The beloved never ages.

Unfortunately, it happens all too seldom that you really disappear behind a work, that you are no longer audible as an interpreter.

Journalism largely consists of saying 'Lord Jones is Dead' to people who never knew that Lord Jones was alive.

We make the patterns on the computer, but we also paint them by hand - it's a combination of digital and screen-prints. I'm trying to do as much as I can myself in the studio.

God means just what He says and He will do all that He has promised.

What I make isn't about me. It's about sharing my story; it's about someone being connected to what I'm saying.
