“I find ways to make things affordable. If the kids want the looks, they can be able to go afford it.”

Every day when I get on the floor I give it my all and play because you never know what tomorrow holds.

I’m never satisfied. I’m always trying to get better and learn from my mistakes.

That’s the best part of the game, to see the smiles on their faces and the breakthroughs they have as individuals.

I have a certain taste, and I might be like, ‘I like this,’ when other people are like, ‘I can’t wear that.’ And in basketball, I might be able to do things other guys might not.

I actually have a closet that’s all shoes, maybe 700 pairs.

Valentine’s Day’s not for men.

If I get to know somebody, I’ll open up, but other than that I like to sit back and observe things.

Russel Westbrook is a guy that impacts the game maybe like no other player in this league.

That’s my motto. That’s what I stand by. That’s what I believe in. Just continue to tell yourself ‘why not?’ Continue to strive and make the right play to help your team win.

There’s no reason to hold yourself back and say you can’t do something in life unless you go for it and try to do it.

Shoes make an outfit. You can throw on a crazy shirt and crazy pants but you add those shoes – done.

I wear a lot of different things, personally. I don’t have favorites.

Once you put in all the work pre-practice and post-practice and see it in a game and see it in play, that’s a great feeling.

I mix and match, from top to bottom.

The urge to create a fictional narrative is a mysterious one, and when an idea comes, the writer’s sense of what a story wants to be is only vaguely visible through the penumbra of inspiration.

The one word you should forget when you start a new project is the word ‘I’ – you need to replace that word ‘I’ with the idea of ‘everybody else.

Making an idea into an emotion.

Both men have an authoritarian idea of government; democracy is merely a façade.

Merely that you start off with ideas buzzing around in your head, and then you try to give them the simpler, more graceful shape, of a feeling that a reader might share.

I did an album and they allowed me to sell it at the show. I also did a Disney cruise line gig.

The idea of 24-hour news, if you really step back, is pretty insane. Just even saying ’24-hour news’ almost has satire laced in it.

I can single handedly dispel any ideas that sexuality is acquired. Trust me, you’re born with it.
