The ones who become stars or superstars are the ones who have a head on their shoulders and know how to use it.

I think I started learning lessons about being a good person long before I ever knew what basketball was. And that starts in the home, it starts with the parental influence.

The key to success is to keep growing in all areas of life - mental, emotional, spiritual, as well as physical.

Being a professional is doing the things you love to do, on the days you don't feel like doing them.

As a kid, I played a lot of one-on-none.

My role models in the business were the older guys on my team when I first got there: Gray Scott, Adrian Smith, Roland Taylor. These were the guys who took me under their wing, and really schooled me in terms of what the business was about.

It's better to stay too long than to leave too soon.
