There's more impact if you burn somebody with your eyes, look straight into him and let him know with a look.

This life is like a swimming pool. You dive into the water, but you can't see how deep it is.

I want to do for rebounds what Michael Jordan did for dunks.

Don't let what other people think decide who you are.

My rookie year, I was very immature.

I'm hungrier than those other guys out there. Every rebound is a personal challenge.

You can love me or you can hate me.

I go out there and get my eyes gouged, my nose busted, my body slammed. I love the pain of the game.

If I don't finish in the top three for the next Nobel Peace Prize, something's seriously wrong.

They say Elvis is dead. I say, no, you're looking at him. Elvis isn't dead; he just changed color.

There's no image we can't improve.

You are here to feel the joy of life by empowering, enabling, enlightening humanity so that humanity may find its own joy.

Blessing is bowing down to receive the expressions of divine favor that in the inner recesses of the human heart and mind make life worth the bother.

The greatest sin is to be unconscious.

You're expected to be perfect the day you start and then improve.

But, the best times I have found, in my life, are late at night or early in the morning and I think it's because you're outside the social realm.

I have worked alone and with a cast and enjoy the process both ways. There is more back-and-forth with a full cast, and you can feed off the other actors' performance.

I think that Shakespeare is a s***. Absolute s***! He may have been a genius for his time, but I just can't relate to that stuff. "Thee and thous" - the guy sounds like a faggot.

I guess I'm way too kind and generous, and a saint - if you can believe that!

Things are not as bad as it seems. The situations that cause us sorrow are the same ones that introduce us to the strength, power and wisdom that we truly are.

I think you can tell the difference between "swagger" and real confidence immediately. You can smell it, like bad body spray versus nice cologne.
