I understand the NBA and the role I play on my team. I know that I have to play a leadership role and do whatever I have to do to win.

I got a picture [tattoo] of Mohammed Ali on my side with one of his quotes. That's my guy. I look up to him. I'm like his number one fan.

The new guys bring energy, intensity and emotion. The last couple games, they showed what they can bring to the team.

I just don't want to get used to feeling this feeling, you know, losing basketball games.

Nobody should expect more of you than you expect of yourself.

Everything on my body has a meaning. I don't do art just because. It does look cool but it also has a meaning.

As long as you stay true to yourself and to who you are, you ain't in nobody's way.
