We'll have to marshal our forces in Washington. It won't be easy. That doesn't mean it can't be done.
Throughout my journey in basketball, I always have someone to talk to in my father. I know how hard he had to work as an athlete.
You shouldn't just work on your jump shot. You should work on being a better person, a better teammate, and a better friend.
If there ever was a religious war full of terror, it was the crusades. But you can't blame Christianity because a few adventurers did this. That's my message.
To avoid entangling alliances has been a maxim of our policy ever since the days of Washington, and its wisdom no one will attempt to dispute.

George Clooney sort of lost his 'George Clooney-ness' the first day I met him. He's not George Clooney in my eyes - he's George from Kentucky with an awesome, awesome heart.

I'm just trying to grow. That's one thing I told myself is, 'Don't worry about who people say is the best player.'
I've got a long way to go to being the ultimate best, but I think my time is now. And I'm starting to enter my prime.
