If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

In any investment, you expect to have fun and make money.

I just feel that my competitive drive is far greater than anyone else that I've met, and I think that I thrive on that.

Sometimes a winner is just a dreamer who never gave up.

The game of basketball has been everything to me. My place of refuge, place I've always gone where I needed comfort and peace. It's been the site of intense pain and the most intense feelings of joy and satisfaction. It's a relationship that has evolved over time, given me the greatest respect and love for the game.

I am competing with what I am capable of.

I never thought a role model should be negative.
