DENNIS RODMAN

I learned a lot I wouldn't have learned roaming the streets of Dallas.

To hang out in a gay bar or put on a sequined halter top makes me feel like a total person.

If I want to wear a dress, I'll wear a dress.

I'm hungrier than those other guys out there. Every rebound is a personal challenge.

I couldn't care less if the guy I'm guarding has HIV. I'm going to slam him anyway.

Wherever there's money, there's drugs, so to say drugs don't exist in the NBA would be stupid.

My rookie year, I was very immature.

If you have a problem with my answer that's your problem, not my problem.

I'm trying to find new ways to make this game more attractive.

I'm the basketball version of a gravedigger.

I felt like calling attention to AIDS. I had the AIDS ribbon colored into my hair during the playoffs in '95.

I go out there and get my eyes gouged, my nose busted, my body slammed. I love the pain of the game.

You can love me or you can hate me.

I can score 20 points if I want to, but that's not my desire.

Everybody's talking trash these days, so why not keep quiet?

I think marriage and athletes is a bad combination.

Karl Malone's too high-class for a bum like me.

I can't begin to describe the amount of crap I've taken for being a lousy free-throw shooter.

I didn't want to be known as Madonna's playboy, her boy toy.

I'm starting to see players copy what I do. I'm flattered.

You watch some teams these days and you wonder if they just met on the playground and decided to choose up sides.

When a high-profile personality lives like I do, everybody thinks that person is fated to die young.

I wear women's leggings under my clothes, but no lingerie.

There's one thing everyone should understand: I like my character.

I want to do for rebounds what Michael Jordan did for dunks.
