I came up with my own 'Dream Shake' I guess - the white version.

If you do the best you can, you have nothing to be ashamed of. A defeat is not a disgrace.

I always wanted to be a basketball player. Nothing more, nothing less.

I thought basketball was a game for women. My mother played basketball, and so did my sister.

I know, basketball is a dance. I didn't understand the significance of that type of training at first. I was supposed to read poems.

Growing up, my idols were Lucky Luke and Jolly Jumper. And Scottie Pippen.

I'm not the kind of guy who just goes up to women.

This feeling to be on the best team of the world is just indescribable.

I want to raise a family and have a couple of small Dirks running around. But it will not be easy to win my heart.

I lost control of myself a couple times in the playoffs. I have to keep cooler in the future.

Of course parents want their children to confide in them.

Sometimes we never see what failure is and often fail to recognize it.

I would rather beat the Yankees regularly than pitch a no hit game.

This is a highly reliable power source. Being a large credit card processor, doing $6 million an hour in transactions, our computers have to work.

The shadow of human life is traced upon a golden ground of immortal hope.

I think I get from my books what other people get from family or a relationship or from prayer.

No! Once the music plays, it creates me. The instruments move me, through me, they control me. Sometimes I'm uncontrollable and it just happens - boom, boom, boom! - once it gets inside you.

I didn't want to be the girl who posed in 'Playboy' and then - by the way - made some music.

By your logic I should also be in charge of Solinade dances, needlework, and horse thieving.

I will embrace today's difficult tasks, take off my coat, and make dust in the world.

But like Elle Woods, I do not like to be underestimated.
