My mission my whole career was just to be somebody that you can look at and say, 'That's the guy I want to go into battle with.'

What I learned in my career is to know how to take care of my body and treat it with respect. I will never forget that and never let go of that.

What I don't like in my job is somebody who doesn't put forth the effort. Somebody who doesn't come to play every day.

Without my success in basketball, I'm nothing. My family, my daughter, my teammates, my foundation, my acting career - they all depend on that success.

No, I don't regret my decision at all, especially after I started this music career. My eyes were as big as saucers.

We can put our head in the sand and continue to lose jobs overseas and to other states, or we can say, 'You know what? We are not going to lose another job from California, and we're going to be the very best place to start and grow a business.' So I'll be the chief sales officer for California businesses.

I feel like everyone directs their own career according to their taste, what they migrate to emotionally and what kind of artists they want to work with.

There were times, I could say, later in the career, that I wished that my voice would be deeper for materials that I might've wanted to select to do. But that's the style of my voice. There's nothing I can do about the height of my voice. And so I learned to deal with it.
