“I didn’t want to be known as Madonna’s playboy, her boy toy.”

For years the league has thought I’ve been on drugs. I would have burned out a long time ago if that was true.

This life is like a swimming pool. You dive into the water, but you can’t see how deep it is.

If the North wanted to hack anything in the world, anything in the world, really, they are going to go hack a movie? Really?!

I went from five foot eleven to six foot eight, and the more ball I played, the more I caught on to the game.

They didn’t have a problem with me being wild and crazy when it came time to fill the arenas.

I say I’m Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin all wrapped up into one. If I die early … I’ll be just like those guys.

I felt like calling attention to AIDS. I had the AIDS ribbon colored into my hair during the playoffs in ’95.

I’ve been homeless. I’ve worked at 7-Eleven.

I’m hungrier than those other guys out there. Every rebound is a personal challenge.

For five years I’ve felt like the best prostitute in a high-class whorehouse. But all the other girls get paid more than I do.

This whole huddle thing really pisses me off.

Fifty percent of life in the NBA is sex. The other 50 percent is money.

The Spurs couldn’t put everything aside and just play the damn game.

Why it’s been left to me to smooth things over, I don’t know. Dennis Rodman, of all people.

I think marriage and athletes is a bad combination.

I knew that I could vote and that that wasn’t a privilege; it was my right. Every time I tried I was shot, killed or jailed, beaten or economically deprived.

Don’t give up on your dreams. You can become the person you know you really are.

Afflictions make the heart more deep, more experimental, more knowing and profound, and so, more able to hold, to contain, and beat more.

Love is when he gives you a piece of your soul, that you never knew was missing.

Do not offend devotees or even non-devotees. Because all those whom we know as devotees today were once not devotees.

Time is not on our side it never has been and I know this storm seems to never end but its coming our time is coming.

That unknown was once very well known. It’s where our souls belong….

Set all things in their own peculiar place, and know that order is the greatest grace.
