If you were blessed with a fortunate position... why wouldn't you want to impact the world around you as much as possible?

Now that Sacramento is building an arena downtown, they're the only one not in an urban core. The only one. It's really not good business. It's nothing against Auburn Hills, Oakland County or L. Brooks Patterson. An arena in the middle of a field is not an ideal thing.

Danny Ferry did a very good job when he was here and put the franchise up to a certain level, as did Mike Brown, and his contract had ended after five years, and, ultimately, both sides decided they wanted to do other things. No hard feelings at all there.

Detroit's a good investment because, first of all, the entry fee for everything is lower. And, you've got the talent that is here that is ambitious and motivated, so you're going to get in on a much lower cost structure in every way, shape, or form from labor to buildings to whatever.

I don't want my career to peter out fighting meaningless fights; I want to go against the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world.

When I started writing after my career as an actor, I knew that that other life in the film industry would be pulled into my writing life and that people would see me not as an author but as an actor starting to write.

A lot of groups get dirty deals. They work hard and have to get a job after their career is over.

I think, with everything in my career, I don't really want to put boundaries on myself.
