I had to dare a little bit. Who am I kidding-I had to dare a lot. Don't wear one ring, wear five or six. People ask how I can play with all those rings, and I reply, "Very well, thank you."

We were kidding her with how she's so white and has to wear those black shoes [with the Shock]. We had a lot of fun with her.

Dare to wear the foolish clown face.

J.J. had one of the great performances here. Are you kidding me? I'm not sure how many times he hit the rim. He hit the rim more on his free throws than he did on his 3-point shots.

He's the one who would wear it.

Hildegarde was perhaps the most famous supper-club entertainer who ever lived, ... I used to absorb all the things she was doing, all the showmanship she created. It was marvelous to watch her, wearing elegant gowns, surrounded with roses and playing with white gloves on. They used to literally roll out the red carpet for her.
