When I started playing, I wasn't fast, I was gangly, my jumpshot was terrible.

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.

Our minds are like certain vehicles,--when they have little to carry they make much noise about it, but when heavily loaded they run quietly.

Online fundraising is so important to the Democratic Party.

All opinions in the world agree in this, that pleasure is our end, although they differ as to the means of attaining it.

If I hadn't fought back, I might have been Gidget forever.
