I think was able to do a lot of things here.

Fortunately for me I was able to do well here, and it really did great things for my career and now hopefully I can go out there and continue to do what I did.

Over there, Kevin McHale, I feel like I'm talking to someone I know. It's just a total different atmosphere.

I think was able to do a lot of things here.

So much tension around here in New York. They want to fine you for every little thing you do.

When I was put in a situation where I'm going there, you have to look at the team and the possibility that hey, we can probably do some good things over there.

And for the first time in a long time, I'm playing along somebody that has that same energy and fire and plays pretty much the same way I do. So, that was just nice to say.

It always feels good to come back here. I love New York... it's just nice to see a lot of familiar faces.

I just meant as far as coming to the games on time; it was just like I was under the microscope, every little thing, it was like they were looking for me to come in here with my shoes untied.

I think it was one of the better meetings that I've had with those guys, because I was honestly able to say everything I wanted to say, and I pretty much aired out the dirty laundry. So from that point on, I thought all of that was behind us.

I'm 33 years old now. I really want that ring. I got a taste of it here.

I know just one thing is those guys, KG and everyone, they're hungry. They want it bad. Sam's the only one that's had that, has the ring. Other than him, everybody else over there, we want it bad.

I love New York. A part of me will always be here. What can I say.

I think it'll be an emotional day. It'll be exciting for me, mostly it'll be exciting for them. I'm not going to get to come here a lot, so, it'll be a special day, hopefully.

Sam is there, Sam has been playing well, he has been doing great in camp.

They got all the size over there, and the teams are really good, so, I think night after night you're just going to have to be ready to lace them up and be ready to play. The teams out there are really good.

Well I forgot how different it was because I've been here for about four or five years. It's a big load off my shoulders now. Now that I'm there, I'm like, man, I can breathe a little bit, you know?

I think that was one thing I definitely brought to the table, my aggressiveness and my style of play, and I think that's one of the reasons why the fans here really appreciated the way that I went out and played, just because I think they kind of liked that.

I definitely think that myself and Sam will help the Timberwolves.

You guys know the way I play. And what's so ironic is, KG is the same way. I'm looking at him in practice and going, 'Wow, I'm always that guy,' you know?

Sometimes change is good. Although I didn't want to leave.

I'm still going to have to go out and score, but defensively hopefully I can make them a little bit better.

My dad is the most humble man on the planet.

I have a strange career. I know it because people come up to me, like colleagues, and say, 'Chris, you have a strange career.'

God made man to go by motives, and he will not go without them, any more than a boat without steam or a balloon without gas.

For holidays, I like doing special cheery touches around the table, like color-coordinating the plates and napkins to fit the theme.

I thought I couldn't afford to take her out and smoke as well. So I gave up cigarettes. Then I took her out and one day I looked at her and thought: 'Oh well,' and I went back to smoking again, and that was better.

For exercise, I tend to like the outdoors. In Paris, I rent a bike in the street and cycle around, and in L.A. I live up in the hills so I go hiking a lot. I like to stay fit by being generally active.

To understand your parents' love, you must raise children yourself.

I always feel a responsibility to the people I write about. I feel obligated to portray them in the way they feel is proper.

You don't need a special place to meditate. You can transcend anywhere in the world. The unified field is here, and there, and everywhere.

I've got to be out doing a million things. That's how I find stories. That's how I get the relationships and get the projects that I get with the writers, the directors.

We must have government that builds stamina into communities and men. That makes men instead of mendicants.

Hollywood movies are seen throughout the world.

I'm a terrible dancer. The worst.

Women are like cars: we all want a Ferrari, sometimes want a pickup truck, and end up with a station wagon.

A man is as old as his arteries and his interests. If he permits his economic, religious, or social arteries to harden, or loses interest in whatever concerns mankind... he will need only six feet of earth.

As caretakers, we feel drained when caring for another, and in order to take care of someone else, we need to take care of ourselves at the same time.

The science is settled; it's not even a consensus, it is a unanimity that human life begins at conception.

Ethel Merman would stay with a show for years and tour with it. So would Mary Martin, the great stars. They recognized the value of that success and nurtured it. Now, you come from Hollywood, you play 12 weeks and go away. I don't think that's the best policy.

It is not from reason that justice springs, but goodness is born of wisdom.

The past is a stepping stone, not a millstone.

We're not perfect, but we do have democracy.

Well, before I knew there was going to be a film. I was the biggest Harry Potter fan. I read all the books.

I do embarrassing things all the time, but I don't really get embarrassed. It's like I'm unaware of my embarrassing things.

You know, they were returning to the language of the people and trying to use musical language, particularly as Copland did to create a musical language in which all Americans would feel that they had a stake.
