“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 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.

I learned a lot I wouldn’t have learned roaming the streets of Dallas.

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 want to be anywhere in the world that I’m needed. I want to spread a message of peace and love throughout the world.

I only weigh 220, so I have to do something to keep from being tossed around by all the guys who weigh 250 and more. I train hard, but I don’t try to get too big.

My last year with the Spurs, I was late to practice one time.

I’m fighting against becoming soft. That’s the worst thing you can say to a basketball player.

Some people want to have controversy between the races.

Madonna wasn’t an acrobat or anything, but the sex was good. I could tell she liked it.

There is many a white man less fortunate and less well equipped than I am. In fact, I have never been able to discover that there was anything disgraceful in being a colored man. But I have often found it inconvenient – in America.

I was very lucky because she was the most beautiful woman in the world at the time. I photographed her very quickly, she was not easy as a model, but her beauty transcended anything I had seen before.

The questions that used to bother me at times, do not weigh anything before the immensity of a wake so close to the sky and filled with the wind of the sea

I couldn’t believe it the first time I heard one of my records on the radio, and I STILL love hearing anything I’m involved with on radio, and some of my best friends were from radio. But we were on different sides of that argument, there’s no question about that.

That’s the whole key to anything: Don’t be afraid to fail. And is not afraid to fail.

You know people. Most of them don’t hear anything. Those who hear – don’t listen. A few who listen – don’t understand. And those who could understand… they don’t care.

Follow your heart to discover what makes you happy, never let go of it, never devalue anything that is beautiful, and build a life that lets you be yourself.

Everything is dangerous to him that is afraid of it.
