[When you're on fire] it feels like nobody's out there, you're playing by yourself. You don't care how good a defender is guarding you.

Life's not real easy right now. But I guess I'd rather have it this way than not at all.

I just think people should be able to express themselves.

I like to smile, even in intense situations. My opponents don't know how to react when they see me smile.

I don't want or need to gain respect with what I do off the court. I want respect for what I do on the court.

Everybody is different. Everybody has different styles. Just do it the best way you know how.

My parents are my inspiration. Believe it or not, they're my personal coaches. After every game I still call them and get their take on how I played.
