You had to be tough in our neighborhood.

I'd like to be a 5-10, 205-pound running back. I think it's natural for big guys to want to be a little faster.

If I had stayed with football in college, I probably would have been a first-round pick.

High school football in Detroit was not easy at all. There were talented players everywhere.

A dunk is nice because it can create momentum, but it's not as good as scoring a touchdown.

In basketball, I always had a first step. A separation step. That works now, too.

In high school, every last one of the passing schemes was designed for me.

Life is a lie, and Love a cheat.

Haters and doubters got me here, but supporters keep me here.

When quick results are imperative, the manipulation of the masses through symbols may be the only quick way of having a critical thing done.

Goodie-goodies are the thieves of virtue.

When you know what's important, it's a lot easier to ignore what's not.

To have no loyalty is to have no dignity, and in the end, no manhood.

Well, I affirm orthodox Christian faith. I affirm the Nicene Creed. I don't think I'm doing anything terribly new.
