If you've got a Corvette that runs into a brick wall, you know what's going to happen. He's a Corvette. I'm a brick wall.
I'm not the one buying love. He's the one buying love.
In the seven or eight years we were together, we were never together.
No one calls me out, I'm from LSU.
I've been the type of person [and] the type of athlete, I don't like to be given anything. I like to earn.
That's what I do. I get in and get under people's skin and all that stuff. But you will remember me - and that's all that matters.
I don't ever want to grow up. I guess I'm like Peter Pan. Grown-ups have problems. I want to stay happy.
In junior high in Germany I fought kids all the time. I had such a bad temper, I almost got thrown out of school. A few lickings from my dad got me out of that scene. He wore me out with a paddle.
I'm sort of like a specialist. I go in, do what I do and every four years, they get tired of me and I have to relocate myself.
When you've got a guy that's going to look for you, you run. A lot of people think I can't run, but my thing was I wasn't going to be running if you're not going to throw it. I know Nash will throw it.
Tell them it was a foul.
My personal opinion is, how, if you never hung out with somebody, do you know them so well? I never hung out with that dude because the dude is a weirdo.
I was really upset. I felt like they tried to limit me, whoever 'they' may be. So I just said to myself third quarter I'm going to come out and do what I do.
We want stuff done right. As long as it's my team, I'll voice my opinion. Yep, it's my team. You media guys might give it to him, like you've given him everything else his whole lifetime, but this is the Diesel's ship. And if we're not right, I'm going to go out there and try to get it right... Just ask Karl and Garywhy they wanted to come here. It was because of one person, not two. One.
