It's really gratifying to see, after all these years, and I've been in the business for 30 years, and after all of these years, to see fans wearing nWo shirts and fans of WCW who still remember make me feel good.

A lot of respect for Ric Flair; he's just a great guy.

Shakespeare is still Shakespeare because story rules.

Bumps often require giving yourself completely to the talent you're in the ring with, and that's what makes wrestling such a performance art that is different from every other.

I've always believed that the audience and the energy that the audience creates is sometimes just as important as the action inside of the ring.

People always said during the Monday Night Wars that the only way we were able to compete was due to a large checkbook and deep pockets. That's not very true at all. That is a false narrative designed to shape history. WWE had significant advantages over WCW and vice versa.

One of the advantages and disadvantages of WCW had to deal with was being a member of Turner Broadcasting.

By the time my attempt to acquire WCW fell apart and Time Warner decided they didn't want anything remotely associated with wrestling near their networks, once that happened and really cut the cord, it was in my rear view mirror and didn't care or think about it too much.

The reason we didn't acquire WCW is an incoming, rotating door, new head of Turner at that time, took prime time television literally out of the deal that we had already negotiated. Once that happened, there was no way to make any sense of it. It was really just a video library and some ring mats.

I have a lot of respect for the folks over at WWE, and I have a ton of respect for what they've accomplished within the industry.

When you hang on a little too long, you disappoint your fans, and deep, deep down inside, you're disappointing yourself, and that's the part that hurts you the most.

Tony Schiavone - I have always liked and respected Tony.

You know that Vince Russo... when Russo and I agreed to work together, one of his big ideas was that he wanted Lance Storm to be my son.

I never got close to the creative in AWA; not only was I not close to it, I wasn't allowed to be in a room close to it when they were talking about creative. That is how tightly held Verne Gagne believed in kayfabing people who he didn't believe needed to be in the process.

I had zero exposure to creative in WCW up until 1993, 1994. Even then, I was at a distance.

Bret Hart, you don't really understand the business of the Pro Wrestling business. You only understand the Bret Hart business of the Pro Wrestling business, and they are two different things.

Here are the facts: when Eric Bischoff came to work for WCW as a 'clean up batter' on the announce team working alongside Tony Schiavone, I came with a guaranteed contract.

There's a way of getting heat that works for you, and there's a way of getting heat that works against you.

Professional wrestling... is no different than a Broadway play except that in a Broadway play, actors are using dialogue to tell a story and establish their characters, while in WWE, they're using a physical dialogue to tell their story and build their characters. That's a very unique art; it really is.

The only reason TNA hired me was because they had no choice. Dixie Carter wanted Hulk Hogan - that was obvious - but Hulk Hogan didn't trust anybody in TNA. When I say trust, I don't mean to be devious or malicious or anything like that, but he didn't trust their judgment or their ability, nor did he trust Vince Russo in any way, shape, or form.

When I ran WCW, I obviously had a lot of control over the business, but when I was in TNA, I had no control over anything other than creative.

Hulk will always be a part of sports entertainment/professional wrestling history, and there's nothing that's gonna change that. His relationship with the WWE, whether it's official or unofficial, is something that can't really be erased.

One of the reasons The Bullet Club is what it is, while it may be kind of a wink and a nod to the nWo, it's also young, fresh guys of a new generation.

I really like Braun Strowman. I would turn the volume down on him just a little bit. I think he is a little bit overly animated, and he doesn't have to be. He is already a larger than life character when he wakes up and has a cup of coffee.

People are finally figuring it out that, at the end of the day, that WCW created some of the best talent in the history of the world. It was a great run.

WCW had its moment, and that's what it was: it was a moment. And we created some great stories and changed the industry to a large degree.

The fact that we are watching a live 'Monday Night Raw' every week is due to 'Nitro.'

You have to make a choice, and you have to commit to a character. You're either a babyface or a character that the fans relate to, support, love and aspire to be, or you're not. And if you're not, you're a heel: you're despicable, and they need to learn to love to hate you.

In big cities, things go by too fast.

You can have all the talent in the world, but if you don't bring it every night then nothing matters.

Before I joined the Clippers I played basketball at the University of Kentucky. There the game of basketball is very important. It is important for the fans. There is not a lot to do there so they really support the team. It is hard to describe. The fans, the coaching staff, the basketball program is everything and the kids who go there love it.

I think the best time to learn things is when you're hurt. Just sitting back and observing to see how you can be effective in certain parts of the games is important.

The point guard is the most important position on the court. They often have to be the best player, not by choice but because that's what the game demands as far as all the thinking you have to do and picking and choosing when to score or pass, things like that.

Once you see the leader of the team, the point guard of the team who has the ball pretty much the whole time in the game directing everybody, I think it just rubs off on everybody.

I am nervous all the way through the national anthem and the first play. Once I get up and down the court a few times, it fades.

The Suns keep great point guards here.

I can say all of the goals I want individually, but if we make the playoffs those individual accolades will come.

In college, playing the two guard, I found a way to get drafted.

My daughter, she loves gymnastics. I take her to gymnastics and watch her compete. It's fun to see something you have rub off on your kids. My son, as much as I love to get away from the game, he really does love basketball. He just wants to shoot on this little hoop I got him. It's just awesome to see them smile all the time.

Now I'm fast and under control. I can just play, seeing the game slower now.

The people who watch you on the court often don't know you as an actual person - a human being.

Just because you are living the dream making millions of dollars doesn't mean you don't go through problems.

I just have to bring the energy and play my game.

Sometimes if I get too aggressive, I get real winded.

Unfortunately I couldn't play as much as I wanted in Los Angeles, because I was playing behind an All-Star.

I still play my fast-paced style but when the game slows down it allows you to see the little things - the right passes, where to lay the ball up.

At the end of the day, a point guard's got to do his job.

I was always in so much of a hurry when I was playing a backup role - just doing everything.

Any position I was going to be in, I was going to make the best of it. I always do.

I did one year of college, so I was only in Lexington for one year.
