Nothing has been given to me.

It's not easy when you come in as the highest-paid player and you're 14.

I think everything happens for a reason and all the things that happened to me - good, bad - I'm glad they did. It's made me ready for life, for adulthood.

I wanted to get us a place of our own with a little bit more space. The kitchen is just huge, because my mom... lives there, man, and she loves being in the kitchen.

A lot of players in Europe aren't as tall as the other guys, so they have to be stocky to physically compete.

Once your name gets out, people just want to crack you.

I feel the pressure but I embrace it. Whatever I have to do to make the sport catch on to other people, I'll do it.
