I had been a basketball fan growing up, and I felt that if we brought in the proper coach, and we played basketball the old fashioned way - where defense is paramount and offense involved movement off the ball and movement of the ball - we could build a winning team, and Chicago would respond to that.

I always felt if something bad happens, it can be your best opportunity. The times I was most depressed turned out to be the best things.

I've said this over the years publicly - this is not a lucrative business. My goal every year is to break even with the White Sox.

The only real goal I had was, I wanted to own a car. Because my father, most of the time, he couldn't afford a car. Once in a while he would have a car, but it would be 10 or 15 years old, an old jalopy.

To be candid with you, free agency hurts all sports. It's great for athletes making an enormous amount of money. But to say it helps the sports, I don't believe that.

Being in school is the best place to be if you are an athlete because you can structure your own time.

On hindsight, I feel I should have given more time to sports. But I really got bitten by the acting bug.

What we have seen is that sports is definitely developing in India. I can see a lot of positive things happening in India. It may take a bit more time, but with proper guidance and people having passion for sports, I don't think we are far away from becoming a good sporting nation.
