I enjoyed my time in Utah. It was a different area to what I was used to. The people there were very nice and it was a great organization and city. I have only good things to say about Utah.

Not having a father helping you grow into manhood and teaching you those things about how to be a man hurts. It hurt my brothers because their fathers weren't involved in their lives.

There were butterflies, otherwise, you're not really ready to play. The locker room, I remember, was quiet and we were very focused on playing that game.

Michael Jordan was a great individual and a great player. You can't say enough about what he brought to the game. He took the NBA to another level.

That's a dream of mine, to be able to coach at the NBA level.

I think the media makes it tough to play in New York. There are so many papers and TV channels covering the Knicks and the expectations for the Knicks are so high.

I know that once I get a good rhythm and a good feel, no one can stop me.

As a young man, you get to a point in your life where you feel like you have grown up and have to make decisions and not having that father figure in your life to guide you to making those decisions.

To me coming up short as a team and for me not having a great particular game was tough to swallow, but your life doesn't end there. You must put your life into perspective and keep moving on.

Me and Spike Lee are good friends. I got a lot of respect for Spike just because of who he is, what he stands for, and the support for that organization. Even when it was bad he was there.

Michael Jordan makes you bring your game to another level. That's why I loved competing against him.

I knew nothing of death, and, for some unexplainable reason, I was beginning to feel guilty for that. -Jessica

Of course love is blind

Decisions are made by those who show up.

Religion itself becomes offensively monotonous. On every point of vantage are pagodas -- stupid stalagmites of stagnant piety.

As I keep saying, fiction is truth. I think fiction is the truest thing there ever was.

My plans have always exceeded my capacities and energies

I believe there is a champion in all of us.

Use power wisely. If you search your heart, I think you will.

Composing is like making love to the future.

I started off on stage because it was the only work I could get. I haven't been back for 11 years. I think any stage experience is good experience, as far as being an actor is concerned.
