There is so much work to be done to treat gays and lesbians and gay and lesbian couples with the respect that they’re entitled to. They deserve, in my judgment, partnership benefits. They deserve to be treated fairly when it comes to adoption and immigration.

Discretion is nothing other than the sense of justice with respect to the sphere of the intimate contents of life.

Well, I had an immense respect for Cirque du Soleil when I first say them in the ’80s on a television show and just thought, you know, this group is really reinventing the circus, as you know. Because there wasn’t three rings. There were no animals.

If guys don’t respect themselves, they don’t respect other people. That’s times and personalities. And all of them are not that way. But it don’t take but one or two to screw up the whole crowd.

Never respect men merely for their riches, but rather for their philanthropy we do not value the sun for its height, but for its use.

I have a new found respect for women who have been through breast cancer and this surgery.

I have nothing but respect for the Lakers. So many of their legends shaped who I am as a person and player.
