I just meant as far as coming to the games on time; it was just like I was under the microscope, every little thing, it was like they were looking for me to come in here with my shoes untied.

It always feels good to come back here. I love New York... it's just nice to see a lot of familiar faces.

People say I'm America's worst nightmare. I say I'm the American dream.

I need to put bread on the table man

When I was put in a situation where I'm going there, you have to look at the team and the possibility that hey, we can probably do some good things over there.

Well I forgot how different it was because I've been here for about four or five years. It's a big load off my shoulders now. Now that I'm there, I'm like, man, I can breathe a little bit, you know?

Over there, Kevin McHale, I feel like I'm talking to someone I know. It's just a total different atmosphere.

I definitely think that myself and Sam will help the Timberwolves.

Why would I want to help them (the T -Wolves) win a title? They're not doing anything for me. I'm at risk. I have a lot of risk here. I got my family to feed.

I have a family to feed.

Fortunately for me I was able to do well here, and it really did great things for my career and now hopefully I can go out there and continue to do what I did.

The poetry of the earth is never dead.

A rational human being of the civilized world would be like the swan that can draw the milk from a mixture of milk and water, leaving aside the water.

When the kids are laughing in the audience, I tear up, I'm so happy I did a nice thing.

One of the strangest things about writing well is that it requires two different zones in the brain--rigor and recklessness--simultaneously.

Everyone got older but forgot to grow up.

As you journey through life take a minute every now and then to give a thought for the other fellow. He could be plotting something.

I wouldn't be surprised if Hillary's [Clinton] people had something to do with putting them on these evenings because that's what she did to Bernie Sanders.

There's a real sense of fighting and destruction in our DNA that we don't get in touch with.

I'm a highly flawed individual, as we all are, and because I was raised by Jesuits, I'm constantly, 'What is it about me and what I can do to be better?'

Go ahead and gamble a lie. A person who will not tell you seven lies within a hundred yards is useless as a man.
