• Rookies are also coming in from college programs as big stars, whereas when we came in, we were just happy to be there. We were happy to be playing in a big gym, to be on television, to be playing in America.

• Veterans get priority in the training room and better parking, but there is not a whole lot of difference in terms of how they're treated in the competition for playing time. To me it doesn't matter if a guy is a 10-year veteran or a rookie. If the rookie is better, he finds his way onto the field.

• I was the greenest rookie that ever was. One evening I was standing out on the sidewalk when a stranger approached and said, 'You're famous already kid. See, they've named a hotel for you.' I looked across the street and sure enough, there was a big illuminated sign that read 'Johnson Hotel.' Well, do you know that I was so green that I actually believed the man!

• All these guys are just like me. They were a rookie at one time in their life. They treat me like I'm one of the guys. I look at Greg Maddux and saw him sitting over there and said, 'Man, that's Greg Maddux. That guy is going to be in the Hall of Fame.' Now I sit there and talk to him like a teammate. It's a reality check, and it's a great feeling at the same time.

• Some people learn from mistakes and don't repeat them,
  Others try to block the memories and just delete them.
  But I keep 'em as a reminder they're not killing me,
  And I thank God for teaching me humility.
  Son, remember when you fight to be free
  To see things how they are and not how you like em to be.
  Cause even when the world is falling on top of me,
  Pessimism is an emotion, not a philosophy.
  Knowing what's wrong doesn't imply that you right,
  And it's another when you suffer to apply it in life.
  But I'm no rookie...
  And I'm never gonna make the same mistake twice, pussy.

• I was a guy back in the Eighties who was one movie away from a huge career, which at that time didn't happen. In the Nineties, I worked a lot, but it was kind of, 'Get out there and dig and find things.' Then I guess 'The Rookie' and 'Far From Heaven' were referred to as my comeback.
