Nothing is black-and-white, except for winning and losing, and maybe that’s why people gravitate to that so much.

It feels great to have my hard work pay off, especially when the fans made it hard for me.

You know, once you have been through a certain amount of things in life, you definitely grow more comfortable with yourself.

My approach has been that a player with determination and a willingness to work harder than anyone else can accomplish anything. It's a simple formula. I've found it works.

Play because it's fun, and not to become a pro. If your goal is to become pro, the best way to realize that is by loving what you do.

I have to say I've worked very few days of my life. I used to have to cut the lawn, and when I was in junior high school, I worked at a concession stand at a stadium.

The truth is I'm a bit old school. For me, it would be hard to put on a Lakers jersey. That's just the way it is.
