It's hard to be mad at my brother. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't. He was only looking out for me, but he almost cost me a spot in the Daytona 500.

Yeah, I was a pretty good kid, you know, I was - I was- I was an overachiever and I worked very hard, played a hell of a fiddle.

It's hard for me to get mad at some of those guys because they give me everything they've got. What am I going to say? What can I ask more of Mo (Peterson) to do, what more can I ask of Mike (James), Chris (Bosh), AD (Antonio Davis) and some of these guys?

Trust me, the being-dead part is much easier than the dying part. If you can watch much television, then being dead will be a cinch. Actually, watching television and surfing the Internet are really excellent practice for being dead.

Well, you're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't.

As a writer I have a responsibility. As a father, a union organizer, a leader, a son, brother, uncle, friend…as a man… I have a responsibility to be honest, to be trustworthy and to be mindful that people rely on the things I say and do in so many ways.
