I was blessed to play 15 years, especially not even supposed to have made it. So, to be able to play 15 years, win a championship, I think that basketball chapter of my life is done.

I've learned that everything is a slow process in the TV and movie industry.

Good TV is not about people being happy; it's drama.

If I had to say how much I've paid in fines over my career, I'm sure it's over $500,000, going toward $1 million.

I think what I came from and what I saw molded me into a certain person. Nothing was ever wrapped or a silver spoon, so I don't think I would know how to live and I don't think I'd want to live if it wasn't a grind.

I just think that my road has been so difficult to get where I'm at that I don't take anything for granted.

I was one of those guys that really had to fight to make it in this league. Early on, I really had to do whatever it took, whether it be fight, rough people up, to make the team. I looked at it as it's either me or them - and it was going to be me.

Where I came from, my upbringing, the ups and downs it took to get my career started, when I made it, I played every game like it was my last game.

I was the bad guy, the NBA bad guy.

I really feel blessed to be in a position I am, to even have an opportunity to play in the league.

When you're going through a divorce it's hard.

I'm a competitor.

I realize that I'm one of those guys that if I'm not with you, you hate me. But when I'm with you, you understand who I am and what I'm about and love me.

I'm a football player playing basketball.

I respect all my opponents, but I fear no one.

I just play hard.

I'm so thankful to have been born in the times that we live in.

If you're wearing suits and you want to create your own sense of style, get to the tailor.

I did a one-off episode of 'The New Normal' for Ryan Murphy, and that was the first time I played a gay role.

Cote de Pablo is one of my best friends! We went to college together.

Human imagination is so much more potent than anything we could put down in words.

My grandma blows my mind. To me, she exemplifies what a loving, accepting Christian is.

Unfortunately, in some parts of the country, some kids are taught at an early age that being different is somehow bad or wrong or worthy of ridicule.

One of the ways I learned how to act, really, is by having secrets and having to function as a kid in a public school in suburban Bible Belt Texas.

It's all about communication and a dialogue between individuals - get rid of the labels, get rid of the shame, get rid of the stigmas and just be your most authentic self.

I have more faith in Santa Claus now than I do an exec.

Everyone needs a reset button so you can start your day without anxiety. For some people, it's running; for some, it's going to the gym. For me, it's meditation.

Our high school offered a comprehensive drama department where I was doing 'Angels in America' at 14.

Outside of, as a kid, just wanting to be able to fly and run faster than a speeding locomotive and being able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, we'd like to hope that, when push comes to shove, we can do the right thing. I think as long as there is that hope in our society and in the zeitgeist of superheroes, Superman will be relevant.

One of the things about the con artist lifestyle is that all the romance is sort of sloppy and fast and loose.

Making a great television show is hard enough. To also tackle F. Scott - whoa.

I have, like, three suits to my name. But one thing I've learned is that when you dress up in real life, people treat you differently.

I think anyone who's ever gone through adolescence and wanted something from their parents knows the basic tenets of a con.

I remember I was really, really proud the first moment I got my insurance and also just going in to get my SAG card and filling out the form and realizing I was a member of all the unions I could be a part of as an actor. It was a really fulfilling experience for me.

How can you not have preconceived notions and expectations of who Kelsey Grammer is gonna be? He's been in my living room since my TV was on. And he exceeded them all, somehow. He's such a beautiful and open-hearted collaborator and mentor and such a great family man. I was just lucky to get to work with him and learn from him.

I consider 'White Collar' my home base. I'm so lucky to get to play a character that's very multifaceted and the writers take risks on and never get into a staid process with.

I'm blessed to have a family, so it's not like I'm twiddling my thumbs. When I'm not working, that's where all my attention comes.

There's always a need for new superheroes. As society changes, the types of superheroes will probably change as well.

Everybody thinks that equality comes from identifying people, and that's not where equality comes from.

You have to remember you're an artist and get hungry.

Just being attached to 'Superman' actually gave a great boost to my career.

I was always that fringe guy anyway, the guy who played football and then did the musicals.

When we were filming the first 'Magic Mike,' we obviously had a limited budget; it was an independent film. And we would entertain extras in between takes.

I would sit on the swing set and swing literally for two hours, just, like, imagining things. Like, what if this happened, and what if I was this guy?

I put on muscle really quick.

I love India. I've always been drawn to it, and I hope that I get to visit the country soon.

I never really endeavored to hide anything. But there were times I chose not to relegate my history to the back page of a magazine, which to me is sort of akin to putting your biography on a bathroom wall.

I pretty much got busted for everything, but I definitely stretched out my boundaries as a kid, as well.

I think when you play a role, you always have to be a defense attorney for that character.

I was raised in a conservative Christian household. We weren't even allowed to watch 'secular' television, anything that was deemed not proper for Christians.
