I just wish all these young black kids would realize how significant it is to stop acting a fool out there, killing each other, not getting their education. You know, people have died to put us in a situation to be successful.
I got pulled over when I was behind the wheel of a Porsche in Philly once for what we call DWB - Driving While Black.
Yeah Ernie, its called defense, I mean I wouldn't know anything about it personally but I've heard about it through the grapevine.
I think the biggest problem is parents are so concerned with being friends with their kids. You're not their friend. You're their parent.
I didnt wear the pink panties because I didnt want America going crazy with excitement.
One thing about being famous is the people around you, you pay all their bills so they very rarely disagree with you because they want you to pick up the check.

The most underrated player in NBA history is Dominique Wilkins. Right behind him is Gary Payton. He never has gotten the respect he deserves. If he doesn't spend the rest of his days in Seattle, I hope he goes someplace where he has a chance to win a title.
If all babies are so cute, how the hell do we have so many ugly people in the world?

Somebody hits me, I'm going to hit him back. Even if it does look like he hasn't eaten in a while.
I don't get into the gun stuff. Some guys have guns who go hunting. Where do we stop (the gun control) at? I'm not a hunter, but we can't say people can't have guns.
Well, all I can say is that people know I'm not saying anything out of malice.
I'm not a role model.
