Reparations, I believe, are talked about for political reasons, trying to cater for the purpose of getting votes.

I've been in the league 12 years. To sit on the bench and complain about the way things were, that doesn't get anything done. I don't know. I'm playing for a championship and trying to make the playoffs. My effort has never changed. ↗

I'm always followed by two or three cars and have police around. Even walking in the park, you see them taking photos behind the bushes and trying to videotape everything. ↗

I don't think politics has anything to do with left, right, or center. It has to do with trying to do right by people. ↗

I think it is impossible to explain faith. It is like trying to explain air, which one cannot do by dividing it into its component parts and labeling them scientifically. It must be breathed to be understood. ↗
