I don’t care what town you’re born in, what city, what country. If you’re a child, you are curious about your environment. You’re overturning rocks.

I wish people would turn off their computers, go outside, talk to people, touch people, lick people, enjoy each other’s company and smell each other on the rump.

Why is Cloud 9 so amazing? What is wrong with Cloud 8? That joke came off the top of my head, and the top of my head ain’t funny!

I have this sense of independent heartbreak, of annulling romances before they get their feet off the ground.
Man is an exception, whatever else he is. If he is not the image of God, then he is a disease of the dust. If it is not true that a divine being fell, then we can only say that one of the animals went entirely off its head.

I’ve become more mature on and off the court, and I’ve learned how to deal with some of those big occasions much better.
