I have been all over the world. I have met some wonderful people, lots of them very simple, whom nobody will ever hear about, but who have been fabulous to me.

I had a wonderful childhood, but I was a wanderer from year one.

I've been very lucky because Perth has been very good to me. I've enjoyed my journey and met so many wonderful people.

Some of the most wonderful people are the ones who don't fit into boxes.

I met wonderful people playing in the NBA. Whether it is the officials, the scorekeepers, all the people who work for the NBA, not just for the Lakers, but I'm talking about just for the league itself.

Perhaps, once I am gone, the one thing I might be remembered for is having sung a great deal of Mahler with a great many phenomenal conductors. It is wonderful music, very spiritual.
