I don’t know how it is for you earthlings, but where I’m from, strength is mental.
We’re focusing on the whole pie, not a slice. A slice is good, but it’s not good enough to get you fat. We’re trying to get fat.
I would love an extension, who wouldn’t? If they offer me a $35 million-a-year extension, I’ll sign it right now. I won’t even read the contract. I’m just here to take care of business and I know can help give the city what it’s looking for.
Obviously, Sam is the type of guy that hides behind his pen and pad. I promise you he wouldn’t say that to my face in a dark alley where it’s just me and him and no witnesses.
Being here feels like I’m out of prison. This is the right place, the right time, the right team.
I’m a realist. I like to put it in business terms. I ran three different corporations my way and I was successful. But I’m an older guy who is on his way out so they brought me in as a consultant for the new, up-and-coming CEO. I’m here for him.
It’s t’ai chi every time. I’m using your positive energy, and I’m blowing off it. See, most guys can’t push, they got to lean. When they lean, I spin.
I don’t get tired. I get beat up. You keep chopping on a tree, you need to give the tree some rest so the chlorophyll will fill back up and the tree gets its energy back.
Alvin’s the coach. We must be the Clippers. And I must be Olowokandi. Nooooo!
Opinions are like belly buttons; everybody has one. I never knock a man for his opinion.
If you’ve got a Corvette that runs into a brick wall, you know what’s going to happen. He’s a Corvette. I’m a brick wall.
When you’ve got a guy that’s going to look for you, you run. A lot of people think I can’t run, but my thing was I wasn’t going to be running if you’re not going to throw it. I know Nash will throw it.
I don’t take anything personal. I just have a certain file in my head, so Earthlings must be careful with what they say.
Once you learn how to do something, you don’t lose it. Unless you die.
I’m sort of like a specialist. I go in, do what I do and every four years, they get tired of me and I have to relocate myself.
I think Bush came back because Colin Powell was there. Hey, I’m the brigadier general, baby.
If you take a needle and stick her in the booty and take a needle and stick me in the booty, we’re both going to say ouch.
It gets bigger every time you go over. In China, there was Yao Ming stuff everywhere. I’m just fortunate to have a good-looking face to where they recognize me.
I’m going to be on a mission. I’ve handled my personal vendettas and handled them well. Every challenge you put in front of me, I’ve handled it, dismantled it – ate them, dropped them off in the bathroom and flushed them away.
I look forward to making Miami a media mecca.
