When I was growing up, I never thought I would play in the NBA.

The respect I had to give my brothers and sisters growing up I think has helped me. I want my kids to be raised the same way.

I wouldn't give Charles Barkley an apology at gunpoint. He can never expect an apology from me... If anything, he owes me an apology for coming to play with his sorry, fat butt.

As I look back, I have to say growing up was fun, not a problem at all.

I love art more than anything in the world except for my family.

I was a kid, 12 or something, when the Partridge Family was big on TV. I liked the curly cord running from the bass to the amps, which were real fancy. That cord looked so cool. I said, 'Wow! I gotta play something like that!'

I think, probably when I was 15 or so, I was going through a really hard time with my family, and I just felt really helpless - I didn't know how to put anything I was feeling into words, and I was really confused, and I felt like nobody would hear me, but I didn't even know what to say.

I have other obligations now - the show, my family, my life... though I know that without my sobriety I wouldn't have any of those things.
