I don't care what people think. people are stupid.
I don't know what that gas is made of, but it can't smell any worse than Ernie Johnson 's gym bag.
I don't think of myself as giving interviews. I just have conversations. That gets me in trouble.

I love New York City; I've got a gun.
I think that the team that wins game five will win the series. Unless we lose game five.

My initial response was to sue her for defamation of character, but then I realized that I had no character.

Somebody hits me, I'm going to hit him back. Even if it does look like he hasn't eaten in a while.
Sometimes that light at the end of the tunnel is a train.
The main thing to do is relax and let your talent do the work.
The only difference between a good shot and a bad shot is if it goes in or not.
These are my new shoes. They're good shoes. They won't make you rich like me, they won't make you rebound like me, they definitely won't make you handsome like me. They'll only make you have shoes like me. That's it.
This place? Nothing positive. OK, I want to say something positive. It's positively a dump.
We don't need refs, but I guess white guys need something to do.
You know it's going to hell when the best rapper out there is white and the best golfer is black.
I'm not paid to be a role model, parents should be role models
I'm a mad dog whose only concern is winning.
