I'll always have a kid in me.

My idea is, I shine, you shine. If I'm doing well and you're with me, you do well.

I don't play basketball for the money. I don't play it for the crowd. When I didn't have a friend, when I was lonely, I always knew I could grab that orange pill and go hoop. I could go and dunk on somebody. If things weren't going right, I could make a basket and feel better.

I try to stay level-headed and it's always the way I've been. Sometimes your personality out in the real world, you want to take that into your sport because that's where you feel comfortable. You never want to try to do something that's not you or you don't feel comfortable doing. That's where you get in trouble. It's the only way I've played sports and done things. I'm low-key, but I'm very competitive and hate to lose.

We don't mind working hard to be successful. We don't mind working to be at our best.

I think the guys that are successful might be a little more relaxed and able to deal with the distractions.

In New York, they like winners. They don't like second place.
