“I always wanted to be a basketball player.” — Ronnie James Dio Quote

“I always wanted to be a basketball player.”

“I liked 'Last Train to Clarksville.'”

“My childhood was safe and sane. No abuse and no traumas. I was surrounded by a large and loving family who taught me the importance of hard work and a meaningful education.”

“You can't tell young people what to do. You can't tell 'em because they'll look at you and say, 'Well, how can you tell me not to do that when you were there doing it yourself?' Or supposedly were doing it yourself. I think you must let everyone live their life the way they have to.”

“I've never taken vocal lessons. My early trumpet training and a fortunate talent for singing has always been enough for me. In the case of rock singing, I've always felt it was better to remain a bit untrained to maintain your individuality.”

“Saddam's fate should be in the hands of his country men. They were the major victims of his brutal reign and should decide his life, death, or permanent imprisonment. Personally, I would lock him away forever.”

“As I have conveyed before, ultimately I would like to lead a team's basketball operation and be a part of a successful franchise.”

“In my mind, women's basketball players are an untapped resource.”

“I'm competitive. You can ask my family. Even if it's not basketball, it's anything.”

“I was wrestling all the way to high school, but it kind of came in the same season as basketball, so I had to pick and choose one, and I decided to go all the way with basketball.”

“I've been playing basketball since forever. The highlight of my high school career was scoring 51 points with 13 threes in a game.”

“Wherever I go, I have a basketball with me. I used to dribble a basketball down the street to the movie theater, to the mall.”
