We make a living playing basketball. You don't have to be a tough guy or a hard-ass to play this sport. You can be tough but you don't have to have that bravado. Sometimes it's good. But I'm not going to be someone I'm not. It's just me being me.

I liked being a kid. I liked being a student.

I always want to do something groundbreaking, something different. I think that's what it's always about. If you have the means to do it, why not?

It's all about concentration and repetition. That's all it is.

I havent won on my birthday since college, so its good to play hard and get a win by double figures.

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

Life is not going to be sweet all the time.
