It's amazing now the amount of love we get around this city from all the Hornets' fans. Growing up, you really don't understand it. Now I'm really starting to realize what Hornets means here in Charlotte.

Of course, I've been a Knicks fan growing up, always rooted for the home team. But I really can't see myself in a Knicks jersey - only because I've been in one jersey.

There were times I didn't know if I even belonged in the NBA. Everyone at this level is so good - bigger, stronger, faster.

I had a lot of doubt coming into my career about being an elite point guard in this league.

I don't think my career would be as good if I were a serious actress. Comedy is less age-conscious.

The crowd doesn't give a crap as long as you bring the money in.

The only reason to be in politics is public service. There's no other reason. Frankly, if that's the best job you can get in terms of money, that's too bad, you know. Because frankly, it's not well paid, everyone knows that. So for most people it's a big sacrifice.

Every time I've done a fund raiser, I've been blown away by the amount of money and the generosity that our fans have.
