Playing in sold out arenas several nights a week is something I have never experience before. I want to experience that. I want to experience that in my first year and build on that.

[The Hawks] are dying to get me at No. 2. I've spoken to them a couple of times this week, and they're loving it. They're rolling around on the floor laughing about [the rumor] because they're gonna get me at No. 2.

Winning the Rookie of the Year would be nice but making the playoffs would be even nicer for me.

I guess if you're a normal person and all of a sudden you're getting $10 million a year, it can go to your head.

I want to sell out arenas and sell millions of records.

In the first year, 1988, I wrote and sold 3 novels.
