I've always tried to be the person who says things no one else wants to say. I've always kept it in house, as opposed to going to the papers.

Chicago was big for me as far as developing as a person and as a basketball player.

One thing I've learned about the NBA is that you can have one good year, but you've always got to be progressing and working and making yourself better.

No, we believed in ourselves all year. That's the position you want to be in.

Be committed to whatever you're doing. That's something I've taken to heart and tried to do with whatever activities I take up.

Money isn't always going to make it happen. It's important to be around people that have the right kind of attitude, being happy about what you're doing.

I leave my heart on the court every night. I earn my keep.
