I'd rather be a non-All-Star playing in the Western Conference finals than an All-Star who's sitting at home in May.

Stephen CurryI'm pretty in tune with everything that happens on the PGA TOUR. Jordan Spieth is my guy. I love watching him play.
Stephen CurryHave a day off, which is very rare in our line of work, but that's something we like to do. Like I said, it's a nice way to take your mind off the game and just go out and relax and have fun.
Stephen CurryWhat goes through my head when I'm going to take a game-winning shot is ... I better make it. Don't be afraid of the moment.

Stephen CurryI remember back when I was 10 and my dad was telling me: Hey, I'm going on a trip this week to play out in Lake Tahoe. I didn't really know where Lake Tahoe was going back, living back in North Carolina.
Stephen CurryIn my late teens, like many a devout Catholic boy, I considered the priesthood and even went as far as discussing the idea at a seminary in Belfast but hesitated. I decided to focus on physics at university, another way perhaps to contemplate the mysteries of reality.

Stephen CurryI can speak volumes about the guy sitting next to me. You look at his stat line tonight, he had a lot of foul trouble and didn't really get going, but when he was in there, he was defending. He was playing physical, and he was doing everything he could to help us win.
Stephen CurryWhen you get out in the field, it's just like any other game. You want to be the same player, the same team that has gotten them to that point. I don't think you have to do anything special. Just be yourself and allow all the time you put in that take over and get the job done.
Stephen CurryIt's all about winning. Stats really don't matter, I mean, guys have great series and all that, and people take notice and take their place in history with those stats and all that stuff.

And you have to have a passion about what you do.
Stephen CurryEvery decision he made, I think everybody bought into it. Whether you understood it or not, you bought into it. Because he's a champion. He's won five of these or something like that, so you've got to trust a guy that's been here before and his view for our team.
Stephen CurryI'm not the guy who's afraid of failure. I like to take risks, take the big shot and all that.

Stephen CurryKids put life into perspective. I never have a bad day. Life happens and you get bad news sometime, or things don't go your way at work - for me that might mean I lose a game or not play well - but that doesn't affect my mood from day to day. I love going home and seeing the smiles on my daughters' faces being happy to see me, and that makes everything all right.
