The American dream, to me, means having the opportunity to achieve, because I don't think you should be guaranteed anything other than opportunity.

I learned early that if I wanted to achieve anything in life, I'd have to do it myself. I learned that I had to be accountable.

I told Zollie Volchok we needed an ultrasound machine and he asked me why we needed music in the locker room.

We should never discourage young people from dreaming dreams.

I worry about the things I can affect, and the things I have no control over I move by.

The most important quality I look for in a player is accountability. You've got to be accountable for who you are. It's too easy to blame things on someone else.

If you can't go through it, find a way around it. Don't spend all your time banging your head against it.
