My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.

No matter what business you're in, you can't run in place or someone will pass you by. It doesn't matter how many games you've won.
Now, I look at where I am now and I know what I wanna to do. What I would like to be able to do is to spend whatever time I have left and to give, and maybe some hope to others.
Be a dreamer. If you don't know how to dream, you're dead.
How do you go from where you are to where you wanna be? And I think you have to have an enthusiasm for life. You have to have a dream, a goal. And you have to be willing to work for it.
I will thank God for the day and the moment I have.
People think I have courage. The courage in my family are my wife Pam, my three daughters, here, Nicole, Jamie, LeeAnn, my mom, who's right here too.
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.
And if you see me, smile and maybe give me a hug. That's important to me too.
