My mission my whole career was just to be somebody that you can look at and say, 'That's the guy I want to go into battle with.'

What I learned in my career is to know how to take care of my body and treat it with respect. I will never forget that and never let go of that.

What I don't like in my job is somebody who doesn't put forth the effort. Somebody who doesn't come to play every day.

Without my success in basketball, I'm nothing. My family, my daughter, my teammates, my foundation, my acting career - they all depend on that success.

There's much more money being brought into the advertising and communications business than in the music industry.

No matter what your career aspirations are, you should begin by thinking carefully about why you are engaging in any activity and what you can expect to get out of it.

As a woman, absolutely, I have had to deal with people making advances at me, but not just people from the business of film industry but people across different professions and different strata. I think it has a lot to do with power; it is not only limited to the film business.

I have always had a tendency to keep enlarging problems which I personally think is the way the world works... that seeing anything one dimensionally on the kinds of political, sort of big issues of human progress is going to be a distorted view of things, which is why over my career I have gone seemingly from subject to subject to subject.
