Sometimes I feel like the Tom Hanks character in Big. But my life is not a movie. I never have to go back to Coney Island to find the fortune-teller machine so I have to grow up again.
It's t'ai chi every time. I'm using your positive energy, and I'm blowing off it. See, most guys can't push, they got to lean. When they lean, I spin.
I don't get tired. I get beat up. You keep chopping on a tree, you need to give the tree some rest so the chlorophyll will fill back up and the tree gets its energy back.
When I first came in, I partied and had a good time. I used to spend $500,000 on chains that don't make no sense. Then I started having babies. I don't do the bull**** no more.
I wouldn't. I would just go home. I'd fake an injury or something.
I've been 11, 12 percent body fat my whole career. But when you've got a big, sexy, beautiful man that's up in the 340s, 350s, the way you guys were taught on this planet, you're going to automatically think it's fat.
You know how I be. Last week Kobe couldn't do without me.
I don't know. I don't have a fax machine, so I didn't get that message.
If you don't stick to simplicity, you'll die a horrible death.
I'm a cop, and cops talk. They called me the day he did it, but did you ever hear me say anything about it? I played ball, because that's how I am. I'm true.
I don't take anything personal. I just have a certain file in my head, so Earthlings must be careful with what they say.
The only person who can really motivate you is you.
Like my good friend Eminem the rapper says, you only get one shot.
Remember this-I'm going to bring a championship to Miami. I promise.
