I want to be different from anyone ever.

I'm kind of a quiet leader, and I just try to lead by example. But then sometimes you have to say something.

I've always been a step ahead. A lot of people haven't experienced the things I've experienced, and made me a stronger person. The life I've been exposed to has let me know what step to take and how not to go back a step. I take life one day at a time, and I prepare myself for each one of those days.

I just go out there and play basketball. God's given me the ability. The only thing I can do is go out and play.

I know what makes me happy. I know what makes me miserable. I'm trying to stay on the happy side.

I always promised myself that if I was in position to be successful, I wouldn't take it for granted, because I know in the past how hard I've worked.

My teammates know I'm down to earth. I'll joke with them. But when it comes to basketball, I try to be serious about it.
