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.

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

I try to only worry about things I have control over.

My free time at home is usually spent emailing, listening to music, reading and talking on the phone. I wish I was on the phone less, but I have been fortunate to stay in touch with so many incredible friends.

I believe that the measure of a person's life is the affect they have on others.

I was never supposed to play in college, let alone the NBA, so I always feel like I have something to prove. No one ever expected me to be here, so that feeling of being an underdog is ingrained in me. It's a natural part of my consciousness.

Besides P.E., geography was my best class in high school. I was in this gifted class when I was younger, and it was wicked!
