More quotes by Magic Johnson
Young people want you to be real with them.
Magic Johnson
I was around when my father finished the last payment of his house. I remember like it was yesterday. He had worked all those years to own that house and he cried. He was so excited and so happy and I want to see other people get that feeling, too.
Magic Johnson
I'm from there. You know, when you grow up with these people and see them every day and then you look at the numbers... it was easy it was a no-brainer. And when Sony took a look, it was a no-brainer to them, too.
Magic Johnson
If you want to be successful, you have to be willing to use every connection you’ve got.
Magic Johnson
For me, it always goes back to something I learned in basketball. There's winning and there's losing, and in life you have to know they both will happen. But what's never been acceptable to me is quitting.
Magic Johnson
You can't get AIDS from a hug or a handshake or a meal with a friend.
Magic Johnson
When you face a crisis, you know who your true friends are.
Magic Johnson
The important thing is this Just because I'm doing well doesn't mean that they're going to do well if they get HIV. A lot of people have died since I have announced. This disease is not going anywhere.
Magic Johnson
I love coming to work. I never have a bad day.
Magic Johnson
The looks, the stares, the giggles . . . I wanted to show everybody that I could do better and also that I could read.
Magic Johnson
Even when I went to the playground, I never picked the best players. I picked guys with less talent, but who were willing to work hard and had the desire to be great.
Magic Johnson
I only know how to play two ways: reckless and abandon.
Magic Johnson
My diet is mostly chicken and fish. I make sure I get a lot of vegetables, a lot of fruit. I am a big fruit man, I am a vegetable man anyway. And I also get a lot of rest. That's the key I may be up early, but I'm in bed early too.
Magic Johnson
Talent is never enough. With few exceptions the best players are the hardest workers.
Magic Johnson
I love to be in the ballpark. I love to just go in and enjoy a great baseball game, a great pitchers' duel.
Magic Johnson
Assists is what Earvin is all about. That's what my whole life has been, assisting others.
Magic Johnson
I tell you, it's funny because the only time I think about HIV is when I have to take my medicine twice a day.
Magic Johnson
I'm at peace with myself. The main thing is not letting people dictate what I do or what I am.
Magic Johnson
You either have to be great or you have to be bad to get a good pick.
Magic Johnson
A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything. Jealousy is invariably a symptom. Just like right now with the whole mortgage crisis, I want to help people get back into their homes.
