“I’m going to be on a mission. I’ve handled my personal vendettas and handled them well.”

Anyone else has to come upstairs and see the Shogun. I’m still the Shogun.

I am Superman. And the only thing that can kill Superman is Kryptonite. And Kryptonite doesn’t exist.

When I come back, we’ll all need each other to step up our games and do what needs to be done.

It was a weird game. There was ugly shooting and a lot of turnovers and mistakes, and we were just fortunate to get the win.

He’s a jokester, and that’s funny, very funny. Ha-ha. Very funny.

My motto is very simple. Win a Ring for the King.

The only person who can really motivate you is you.

Get his master’s in criminal justice, stayed out of trouble. Played for three different teams. Changed three different franchises around.

I should have done better, but it was just a very ugly and weird game… I knew the game was going to be an ugly game when I saw those three guys at the scorer’s table. Ugly people call ugly games.

I’m on a mission. And I know the older I get, I may lose a step or two, but it’s all up in the medulla oblongata. I’ve got a lot up there. I’ve got a lot of knowledge… in this medulla oblongata.

As a general, and as a leader of this team, whatever I’ve got to do get my guys going I’ll do it every time. If I have to be the bad guy sometime, I’ll guess I’ll take that. That’s what a leader and a general and a chief of police does.

And I want to do it the right way, like everybody else, not just a famous figurehead that gets a job because he is a famous basketball player. I want to really learn the business.

I’m pissed off. ‘Cause I knew I did something wrong. I’ll have a hell of a season if I win the championship and average 20 points a game.

I’m dominant every night. I come in every night and get beat up.

He’s the president. I’m the general. Unless I want to get impeached, I got to do what he says.

I beat a lot of teams from the line. You have to have mechanics. But see, what people don’t know about my wrists is my wrists don’t go all the way back.

I’m not going to waste an athlete on the sidelines.

I believe. France and Germany and Japan, China, other nations, they’re going to exist. But they’re losing their significance and ability to deal with certain matters.

I was so scared of going back to the theatre after Hamlet. I didn’t know if I’d do a play again because I was afraid of the power of it.

The thing with film and theater is that you always know the story so you can play certain cues in each scene with the knowledge that you know where the story’s going to end and how it’s going to go. But on television nobody knows what’s going to happen, even the writers.

You Don’t Have to Go Home from Work Exhausted!

Things are never going to turn out how you think they will.

The thing I think about is that once you’ve done it, you then start to think about what you’re going to do next.

I didn’t know what I was going to do with my life. I just had a kind of energy, I was a fairly happy kid.
