The most important thing is you must put everybody on notice that you’re here and you are for real. I’m not a player that is just going to come and go. I’m not a player that is going to make an All-Star team one time, two times. I’m here to be an all-time great. Once I made that commitment and said, ‘I want to be one of the greatest ever’, then the game became everything for me.

Every individual has a place to fill in the world and is important in some respect whether he chooses to be so or not.

我不完美，但我永远是我自己。

The community stagnates without the impulse of the individual. The impulse dies away without the sympathy of the community.
