Can I jump over two or three guys like I used to? No. Am I as fast as I used to be? No, but I still have the fundamentals and smarts. That’s what enables me to still be a dominant player. As a kid growing up, I never skipped steps. I always worked on fundamentals because I know athleticism is fleeting.

I don't want to be a celebrity. I want to be a memory.

Every day is a new opportunity.

You should be doing something that you're passionate about and that you think is really important.

I'm not a pop star, I'm a performance artist.

It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.
