I don't worry about playing basketball; that comes natural. I just want to have fun. David Robinson, Patrick Ewing, Michael Jordanthis is like spring break in the ghetto.
I'm serious. I've got to get people to realize that the government is full of it. Republicans and Democrats want to argue over stuff that's not important, like gay marriage or the war in Iraq or illegal immigration... When I run - if I run - we're going to talk about real issues like improving our schools, cleaning up our neighborhoods of drugs and crime and making Alabama a better place for all people.
I don't know anything about Angola, but Angola's in trouble.

I played against him (Wilkins) in college. Getting nominated with him, that's pretty cool.
Being black or white isn't an accomplishment. What you do with your life - or what you accomplish with your life - dictates what you should be proud of.
I came to the realization a couple months ago that I am fat. If you get tired from walking - and that's all that golf is - then you are officially fat.
