Success is the result of psychologically preparing for it, prior to achieving it!

A lot of people think that as a player, during the lockout, you just have your whole day free. It's not like that - especially for me. I wake up everyday, train in the morning from 9 a.m. to about 2 p.m. Then I have a business meeting here, have to meet this person there, it's non-stop for me.

At the end of the day, you want to be always the one that's one step ahead of everybody, and when it comes to hip-hop, culture and art, you want to be that signature guy.

I'm really into fashion.

Without a doubt, any opportunity I have to build that up in New York, I'd do it. I told people all the time, always say, 'If it takes me taking a pay cut, I'll be the first one on James Dolan's steps saying take my money and let's build something strong over here.'

I say 'come with it.' I'm not expecting anything easy. You have to earn your place. That's fine with me.

No one is perfect. I know there is stuff that I need to work on, and not just one thing, but my game overall. Everything can get better.
