I've been on the side where you have nothing, and now I'm on the side where anything I want is there for me. When I didn't have the means to do whatever I wanted to do, I still had peace.

I want to be held accountable. I want my teammates and my coaches to push me to be the best that I can be.

My purpose in life, my goal for the NBA is to preach God's word - not just try to beat everybody over the head with a Bible but just being a good example and always conducting myself in a Christian-like manner.

I had a lot of negativity growing up, so I understand how to block the negativity out.

You really can't please people. I know everybody's attention is on what I'm doing on the floor.

I want to make sure I'm fly. Nothing too baggy, something that fits right. I just like that feeling when you go out in public and everyone's like "Wow, that's an awesome outfit."

Sometimes things don't work like they should.
