I take my son to school and then I drive 45 minutes to practice with my ABA team, the Florida Pit Bulls, from 10 to 1. In the afternoon, I have meetings.

I did everything I could to establish myself, but it just didn't work that way. I'm not angry about that.

Everybody looks at his clothes to see what he's wearing.

You have to look at how chemistry develops.

If the right people do the right things, we can walk, we can have a future. But if people don't put time into it to make it run in a right way, I don't think your team will work.

I think I have the skills. I'm a great judge of talent. I just know basketball.

I didn't like how my NBA career ended because I wanted to go out on my own terms. But nobody tried to believe in me, that I could go back and play. I can still play at 39.

I hate them with all the hate you can hate with. Can you hate more than that? If you can, I hate them more than that.

I've always thought if it's not broke, why fix it?

When your team drops out, you make the ABA look bad.

I'm not trying to get back on a team, but I have tried to stay in shape just in case a team needs a point guard. A championship team. I wouldn't go to any other team.

As an African-American, I know all too well the negative thoughts and feelings hatred and bigotry cause.

I am committed to examining my feelings and will recognize, appreciate and respect the differences among people in our society.

I don't have a hate bone in my body.

I don't like gay people and I don't like to be around gay people. I am homophobic. I don't like it. It shouldn't be in the world or in the United States.

I grew up under the sticks and stones rule. I didn't put my hands on you so why should you put your hands on me or my family.

I respect people. For me to say 'hate' was a bad word, and I didn't mean to use it.

I was always taught if you do something, face the piper. Try to make it right.

I'm a goodhearted person. I interact with people all the time.

When I see gay people holding hands or kissing in the streets, I just don't think that's right.

I did work out every day. I needed it to have the endurance to do what needed to be done and not get hurt. I have such a new respect for action stars now.

This is God's work. Therefore it must be triumphant. There is no place for misgiving or despondency.

Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.

The work which is manipulated looks a little boring to me. I think life is pretty strange anyway. It is wooo, wooo, wooo!

The productivity of work is not the responsibility of the worker but of the manager.

The kinds of shows that seem to work now, the comedy shows, are those which require very little attention. They're superficial and I like articulate comedy.

Always, your work is the same: You have to tell a story, you have to make a character. It doesn't matter if there are thousands of dollars, millions behind it, or if there is nothing.

Style is as much under the words as in the words. It is as much the soul as it is the flesh of a work.

Yes, and I can sit down on a white piece of paper and work because I don't believe too much into inspiration, only I'm waiting for inspiration, work and then inspiration may come. It's a little too easy to say that.

I am always successful in my work.

Much of my work has come from being lazy.

People are not perfect... very often the relationships that are strongest are those where people have worked through big crises, but they've had to work through them. So the challenge to us is to work through that.

Evidently the merit depends on the result of the work.

Even if I don't have a job, I work on plays and scenes.

Only time, education and plenty of good schooling will make anti-segregation work.
