For example, Sonny Corleone went up there, and he wanted to be the top guy. And the Godfather said, 'You know what dude, I'm a star.' That's what I'm doing now, and that's what I was trying to do with what's-his-name.
I don't know their names. Their names have been erased from my memory banks. If I tried to bring 'em back, I'd get shocked.

We want stuff done right. As long as it's my team, I'll voice my opinion. Yep, it's my team. You media guys might give it to him, like you've given him everything else his whole lifetime, but this is the Diesel's ship. And if we're not right, I'm going to go out there and try to get it right... Just ask Karl and Garywhy they wanted to come here. It was because of one person, not two. One.

Georgetown. Alonzo was the guy I always heard about. I've always wanted to measure myself against the best.
Can I go one day without somebody saying something negative about me?
This is a tough game. There are times when you've got to play hurt, when you've got to block out the pain.

Challenge me. Treat me like a game of checkers and play me. That's all I'm asking, just play me. Treat me like Sega and play me.

I've been the type of person [and] the type of athlete, I don't like to be given anything. I like to earn.
