“I was confused as a kid. I was confused about my sexual identity.”

I’ve been homeless. I’ve worked at 7-Eleven.

I’m hungrier than those other guys out there. Every rebound is a personal challenge.

For five years I’ve felt like the best prostitute in a high-class whorehouse. But all the other girls get paid more than I do.

My last year with the Spurs, I was late to practice one time.

I’m fighting against becoming soft. That’s the worst thing you can say to a basketball player.

I think the main thing for kids is to have them believe in themselves.

I think my real influences are out of my control, which are the things that entered my brain when I was a kid growing up.

All kids need is a little help, a little hope and somebody who believes in them.

Ever since I was a kid, I just loved those comedians on TV who would just have fun with the language.

I was definitely an at-risk kid growing up.

I think you really have to become a parent to understand what you will endure to be there for your kids.
