In college I never realized the opportunities available to a pro athlete. I've been given the chance to meet all kinds of people, to travel and expand my financial capabilities, to get ideas and learn about life, to create a world apart from basketball.

To me, the American Dream is being able to follow your own personal calling. To be able to do what you want to do is incredible freedom.

I had my boy in Boston on Easter Sunday. That kills me, from a sports perspective. He's a Boston baby and I'm a New York guy.

I believe in humanity. We are an incredible species. We're still just a child creature, we're still being nasty to each other. And all children go through those phases.

I'm a big fan of vampire movies generally and that sort of tradition of characters.

Michael Sheen

Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.

Rudyard Kipling

You're not working with models, you're working with real women who have, like, anatomy. Models do not have anatomy.

The Greeks by their laws, and the Romans by the spirit of their people, took care to put into the hands of their rulers no such engine of oppression as a standing army. Their system was to make every man a soldier, and oblige him to repair to the standard of his country whenever that was reared. This made them invincible and the same remedy will make us so.

Thomas Jefferson

Christianity has operated with an unmitigated arrogance and cruelty -- necessarily, since a religion ordinarily imposes on those who have discovered the true faith the spiritual duty of liberating the infidels.

James Baldwin

The society of girls is a very delightful thing, Copperfield. It's not professional, but it's very delightful.

Charles Dickens
