I'll hear people say every so often that having HIV must not be so bad - 'Just look at Magic and how well he's doing.'

Quite often you hear people say, 'What about separation of church and state?' There is no such thing.

When I opened Magic Johnson's theater on 125th Street, a lot of people said it wouldn't fly, but we proved them wrong, ... I love New York_ and I like what Mike Bloomberg is about. He gets things done for every neighborhood.

The important thing is this Just because I'm doing well doesn't mean that they're going to do well if they get HIV. A lot of people have died since I have announced. This disease is not going anywhere.

Women risked their lives for the right to vote. When I hear people say, 'Oh, I'm not gonna vote,' I just wanna tear their heart out.

When people say I look intimidating, it's hard for me to relate to. I hear that a lot. I don't know why.
