“The majority of the time, you go out to eat with your teammates, then rest for the next day’s game. It’s not a vacation – most guys view the road as a business trip.”

Some guys like to talk. What’s the problem with that?

I’m not out here to be beefing with nobody.

I’m going to be real as hell and show you who I am, because I want the kids to see who I really am and the basketball players to see who I really am, and that’s all that matters to me.

First off, I’d like to thank God for changing my life. It let me really realize what life is all about. Basketball is just a platform for me to inspire people, and I realize that.

I don’t mind talking about the game. I don’t mind talking about what we go through as players, because I want people to get a deeper look inside instead of looking at stats all the time or looking at numbers or just watching the game.

For me, as a 14-year-old aspiring to be in the NBA, I wanted to hear from players.

I’ve been second in the MVP voting three times. I came in second in the Finals. I’m tired of being second. I’m not going to settle for that. I’m done with it.

I’m not out here to be showing you I’m this perfect person.

I’m sure they’ve moved on. But in the back of my mind, I still have a thing for Seattle and always am going to remember what they’ve done for me.

I don’t have to be anybody I’m not.

I’m obviously not going to give you everything about my whole life, but as far as my personality, you see me all the time from watching the games.

The grass is not always greener on the other side. You learn to appreciate these people.

Chemistry is important. If you like your teammates, it’s going to be easier to play with them on the court.

I know what to keep to myself. I know what I want to give up.

I’m just content with myself, happy with myself.

I’m going to be me at the end of the day. And I think my family appreciates that. They’re happy for me that I’m finding out who I am, and I’m content with that.

We didn’t say that 80% [of terrorists], for example, or the majority or the vast majority, are foreigners. We said the vast majority are Al-Qaeda or Al-Qaeda offshoot organizations in this region.

It is commercial pop that the majority of people understand. A working man’s daughter would not understand blues.

We never said that the majority [of the terrorists] are not Syrians, but we said that the minority is what they call “free Syrian army.” That’s what we said.

If the society today allows wrongs to go unchallenged, the impression is created that those wrongs have the approval of the majority.

The great majority of people in England and America are modest, decent and pure-minded and the amount of virgins in the world today is stupendous.

The market is going to love it. The market always seems to applaud major mergers, even though the vast majority of them don’t work out and don’t increase shareholder value.

You look at [terrorists] faces, they look foreigners, but where are they coming from ? How precise this estimate is difficult to tell, but definitely the majority are Al-Qaeda.

I’m used to being in the minority. I’m a left-handed, gay Jew. I’ve never felt, automatically, a member of any majority.
