He loves power. He loves control because others, you know, dad and stuff like that, but he's just a great guy. He's just a great guy.
I say I'm Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin all wrapped up into one. If I die early ... I'll be just like those guys.
I only weigh 220, so I have to do something to keep from being tossed around by all the guys who weigh 250 and more. I train hard, but I don't try to get too big.
Why it's been left to me to smooth things over, I don't know. Dennis Rodman, of all people. Keeping us safe is really not my job; it's the black guy's [Obama's] job. But I'll tell you this: If I don't finish in the top three for the next Nobel Peace Prize, something's seriously wrong.

I was running, jumping and doing my thing. My focus was to just show them I could jump, get up to the rim. I tried to get a lot of rebounds, run, maneuver, set screens and stuff like that. ... I think I'll be back here. I think they freaked out. They couldn't believe I am 43 years old.
Many things have happened in the last 10 years. ... I should have been dead, ... The crazy antics, the wild parties. If I did drugs the way I partied with drinking, I would be dead.
I lost $35,000 in less than a week at the Mirage in Las Vegas.
My fans are very important to me and I showed up Thursday to support their loyalty. I'm sorry that I only played a few minutes, but promise to make it up to them on Jan. 10.
