To be honest, politics is so weird. I think it's more heavy than religion.

I'm my own biggest critic, and the only way I'm going to improve is to see what I was doing wrong.

I remember telling my friends I wish I had stayed in school and they didn't understand: "You've got all this money and everything you want." But it wasn't about the money. It was about how I felt right then.

I learned very quickly that the NBA is a very rough place, physically and mentally. There's no mercy.

You think you're grown in college but you're not, because everything is kind of controlled. You lose the camaraderie and suddenly find yourself alone in an apartment just feeling lost.

When I was in school, my favorite subject was math. I took algebra and calculus. At an early age I grasped it and understood it quickly. I just enjoyed breaking the codes and solving problems.

There were hard days but I never felt sorry for myself.
