“This must be how the guys in Space Jam felt when MJ gave them their powers back through that old basketball.”

When I was younger, I was just always looking for – you’re always looking for this hot, so hot, like super-hot girl.

College. I didn’t even realize it was carefree at the time, but looking back, that was the most carefree time ever.

It’s cool to actually have my own trading card.

Some of the best competition there’s been since I’ve been in the league. Just every night, night in and night out we get to play against the top guys, the top teams. It’s a lot of fun.

I’m not a huge fan of plastic surgery, for either guys or girls.

Take care of your body from the inside out.

The best part is if you dunk on someone at home and they show it on the replay!

Getting to play with my brother was an unreal experience at Oklahoma, in college, it’s some of the funnest times I’ve had in basketball, and I’ll cherish those memories forever.

People can’t measure the amount of heart you have and how much you’re willing to fight for something.

I was always chasing Taylor, trying to keep up with him.

Transformation excites me. So does truth. Nothing is more thrilling, hilarious, and tragic than the truth. Those things motivated me to become an actor. Also, they always have the best food on set.

You’re not being complacent, not falling back and floating around the perimeter too much, figuring out when to attack. I’m trying to find that balance between attacking and spotting up and things like that.

If you read a label and just look up the ingredients, you’ll be able to figure out really easily what’s good for you and what’s bad.

Sometimes you can really serve well and win the match because of the serve. I have the opposite thing now, so it’s kind of hard. I can just really play with my forehand and backhand.

In life we only try to produce, to win, and enjoy the more we can; in science, to discoverand invent the more we can; in religion, to dominate (or rule over) on the greatest number of people we can; whereas the forming of the character.

The choreographic process is exhausting. It happens on one’s feet after hours of work, and the energy required is roughly the equivalent of writing a novel and winning a tennis match simultaneously.

To become a token woman – whether you win the Nobel Prize or merely get tenure at the cost of denying your sisters – is to become something less than a man.

I would sacrifice 1,000 yards rushing to win a Super Bowl.

It’s interesting, winning an Academy Award as a young man… life-changing, but I’m just me within that.

The reason that so many times we don’t win the battle is that we never show up for the war!

I want to win four or five championship rings. That’s how I dream. I dream big.
