It's too late for me to get married before I'm famous. You never know people's intentions.
I've been at the funerals of a lot of people in my neighborhood. Sometimes when I sit back and relax, I think about that and just blank out.
The only person I ever wanted to meet was Muhammad Ali. And of all the people I've ever met, he's the one who most impressed me. It's tough to listen to him. You gotta have patience. But you see how strong his mind is. Even now, he's one of the most intelligent people on the planet.
The fans are dying. We're dying.
You just got ta believe, i have never been a quitter in my life or in my career.
I'm me. I'm just out there being myself. I like having fun. But at the same time, I bring everybody together. So I'm really -- or I try to be -- like the glue of the team.
I'm a Baltimore Ravens fan and I'm a Baltimore Orioles fan. I have them tattooed on me.
When I was young, I was sold on winning. I was always serious on the court. As I got older, I realized that it was just a basketball game. Just go out there and have fun.
Family time is the best time.
Any decision I make is the biggest decision of my life.
Man, I'm not trying to be important; I just go out and play.
A lot of people I meet say, 'You remind me so much of Magic Johnson.'
I'm laid back, I take my time, get the job done. Lebron is high flying, dunking, passing the ball well. He's getting the job done, too. But we're different.
I don't think there could ever be more pressure to succeed than the pressure I place on myself.
