The Lakers have been nothing but great to me, and I want to keep the relationship great.

I don't want a girlfriend because that means I've got a responsibility. I have a responsibility to call you. I have a responsibility not to be with another woman. I have a responsibility to be there on time when you need me.

The Lakers are family. My kids don't have to switch schools. Little things like that are important. People don't think about things like that. I feel like something special is going to happen in this town.

Death always seems to be around me.

My mother and grandmother raised me. Queens raised me.

Most people don't want to get married. Being married, that's a responsibility.
