It's all about guts. I've had so many ups and downs, I'm not scared of being down.

I've always believed in my abilities. Nobody ever gave me anything in life. I had to work for everything I got. It may have gotten really rocky for a while, but I persevered, because I'm not afraid of failing.

I get a lot more confidence winning games playing defense than winning the run-and-gun game.

I'm fully aware that every time I do anything, good or bad, somebody's watching.

Even when it's midnight, people are watching you. It's difficult to be in the spotlight all the time.

My guys look for me to step up in that magnitude and I take the challenge every time. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, but you've got to have a guy that will take those shots and deal with the consequences.

I'm a point guard, I've always been a point guard, I've played point guard all my life. Personally, I feel the best point guards make other players look better and create their own shot. I fit in that category.
