“I’m always hungry. I want to be the best.”

I know what to keep to myself. I know what I want to give up.

I’m just content with myself, happy with myself.

I’m going to be me at the end of the day. And I think my family appreciates that. They’re happy for me that I’m finding out who I am, and I’m content with that.

I know that the hard work got me here. And the day I stop working hard, this can all go away.

I’m going to let you know the real, and I’m going to let you know the real as I can about me.

My mom just wants to make sure that my heart is always in whatever I do and I’m in things for the right reasons.

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

Our best years are only ahead of us, so we got to continue to keep pushing.

I go to sleep at night, like, ‘Am I gonna be alone forever?’

I like what I like, I am who I am, I know what I want to do, you know what I’m saying?

It’s easier for me if I’m just open and transparent to a point.

I’m not trying to be like what I thought an NBA player is supposed to be growing up.

I learned how to pass when I was real young. That’s one thing I always knew how to do was find the open man.

In the game of basketball, I play first off because I love it. I love to have fun. I love to run up and down the court.

I realized I could not fulfill my responsibilities to the team from both a time and energy standpoint. I need to take a step back and take some time away, both mentally and physically in order to prepare for the upcoming NBA season.

In this league, experience means a lot.

Becoming the best version of yourself requires you to continuously edit your beliefs, and to upgrade and expand your identity.

The goal is not to simply eliminate the bad, which does nothing more than leave you with a vacuum, but to pursue and experience the best in the world.

You can either be angry for what you don’t have or thankful for what you do have. Do your best and God will do the rest.

Optimism is my best defense.

I think the best thing a parent can do, when raising a child, is simply get out of their way.

Extraordinary results happen only when you give the best you have to become the best you can be at your most important work.

She loved me coming and going, at my worst and at my best. She had a bottomless well of love for me.

I think it’s really important to have a life outside of this [movie] business and just be the best person you can be.
