“I’m tired of being second…. I’m done with it.”

You can’t speak openly about everything.

Coaching staff: I know there’s days you look at that film and you want to kill me. I’m not playing defense, taking bad shots, getting too many techs. But you always believe that I can be the guy.

If I come to work every day and do my job, work as hard as I can, be a great teammate, the rest of that stuff will take care of itself.

I’m going to show you my faults, I’m going to show you my insecurities, I’m going to be real.

People always think women meet us in the hotel lobby, but it’s the opposite.

If I’m educated and passionate about a topic, I’ll answer the question. But I also know when to shut the hell up.

If he had 30 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, I can tell you exactly how he did it, what type of shots he made and who he passed to.

When you got people behind you, you can do whatever.

I’m just more content with myself. Like, if I’ve got something to say, I want to get it off of my chest.

You sacrificed for us – you’re the real MVP.

I like to sit on things and digest them and then I’ll figure out my next move, but I never said I was right for doing anything.

You cannot fail at being yourself. A cat doesn’t try to be a tiger, and you shouldn’t try to be something you aren’t. You are a process, not a product. Your job is to discover what you are and create that creature.

Positive and powerful: Sometimes people won’t like me, and it’s okay. Positive and powerful: I like me, and that’s all that matters.
