“I have fun out there on the court, smiling, laughing, trying to have good demeanor.”

I’m blessed to have such a tight-knit family that we can talk about anything. Whether we talk frequently or not, since we’re on separate ends of the country, there are a lot of moving parts, and we always stay tight and find that center ground that keeps us together.

Playing basketball all my life, I’ve collected a lot of different basketball shoes. It’s pretty much all I wear.

I don’t like people looking at someone else’s image.

I always have confidence, whether I miss four in a row or make four in a row, that the next one’s going in. To a coach, sometimes that might not make sense.

It’s kind of a weird process being pitched by the company you’re already with.

You can play fast but not in a hurry. As a point guard, I can dictate that.

For me, when you are have people wondering what is next, what is coming out, you are on the right track.

Hopefully I won’t be the last big splash at Under Armour.

It’s crazy how fast you get out of shape if you miss a couple days of action.

Shooting the ball is a part of the game. Everybody can shoot in their own way. Not everybody can make. But everybody can shoot.

I wasn’t going to shy away from getting married when I did and having a baby young and starting a family, even with the job that I chose.

If you can’t move and talk to people that you see, it’s not really my scene.

There are so many things we have to overcome in this life with Jesus, His work on the cross. He’s paid the ultimate price for us, so I’m proud to be a child of God.

I’m not in the business of ranking or debating who is what.

I’ve always believed that success for anyone is all about drive, dedication, and desire, but for me, it’s also been about confidence and faith.

There’s a reason that I have confidence out there, and it’s about how I prepare for games and for series and seasons and whatnot, so we’ve got to stick with that kind of thought process.

I try to eat a lot of baked foods, fish, chicken, potatoes, stuff like that. Grab me a Muscle Milk. That helps.

I try to be open with everybody, try to make everybody feel welcome and make them feel like, hey, I’m an easy person to talk to, get along with.

By that I mean, honest and not trying to amplify some mythological version of myself.

Nine times out of ten, I’m trying to meet someone else’s expectations, whether it’s the director or the writer or the animator

Byrd has always been that kind of pitcher.

Always, with any movie that I do, I have a book of ideas that I’ve heard, or seen, or whatever, and I always try to incorporate it in the film.

Every time I hit the stage I try to take something from it.

I’m sort of always trying to reinvent and recreate a better way of being.
