“I understand being the villain is what people like. People play to that. They want to know about the villain.”

I’ve been blessed to be one of those guys who’s looked at as a fashion-forward type of guy.

Anytime an artist puts your name in a song, it’s unbelievable. It never gets old.

I was probably a terrible husband, but I pride myself on being a good dad.

It’s always a dream to be on the cover, it’s one of the things an athlete always aspires to do, to be on the cover of a videogame, but I never thought I would get to do it this quick.

All children need their fathers, but boys especially need fathers to teach them how to be men.

I’m the kind of parent who asks my kids questions like, ‘What would be your ideal thing to do in the summer?’

I love to sing some Beyonce – ya know, like ‘All the Single Ladies.’ I’ll sing that – maybe not with the body shakin’ – but I’ll have a little bit of the hand movement going on.

I don’t think the world focuses on the positive things enough.

It’s about taking advantage of the opportunities you have right now, and right now we’re in a position where you call somebody and they’re willing to pick up and take the call because they’re a fan, you have to take advantage of that and have a chance to capitalize on your ideas.

I understand that I’m not perfect. I made mistakes and I had a hand in everything that’s happened to me, good and bad.

The biggest thing, and what I told some of the partners in the summit, was me thanking them for their constant support with everything that I’ve been through the last couple years on and off the court.

I’ve been successful in different areas, but nothing brings a smile to my face more than my oldest son, Zaire, and my second son, Zion, saying the kind word of ‘Dad.’

When I was in college, I actually had them change the starting lineup to say ‘from Robbins, Illinois’ instead of ‘Chicago, Illinois.’

For home games, I bring my clothes to the arena. I bring two different outfits that I can pick after the game. Road game, I got to wear what I walk in with.

The biggest thing is to let your voice be heard, let your story be heard.

A turtleneck is about sophistication.

I don’t really like knees.

I really want people to know that I’ve worked hard, very hard, to get to where I am today.. this didn’t just happen overnight.

Belief in oneself and knowing who you are, I mean, that’s the foundation for everything great.

Democracy is talking itself to death. The people do not know what they want; they do not know what is the best for them.

New York – I’m connected. This is my core. I feel like if I’m not connected to New York, then I don’t even know what to do with myself.

I’m from there. You know, when you grow up with these people and see them every day and then you look at the numbers… it was easy; it was a no-brainer. And when Sony took a look, it was a no-brainer to them, too.

You know, I’m a physician. I like to diagnose things. And, you know, I’ve diagnosed some pretty, pretty significant issues that I think a lot of people resonate with.

Our ignorance allowed us to live, as you are in the mountains, and your rope is frayed and about to break, but you don’t know it and feel safe.
