“We went from apartment to apartment by ourselves. One of the best memories I had was when we moved into our first apartment, no bed, no furniture and we just sat in the living room and just hugged each other. We thought we made it.”

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.

My style has changed and evolved mainly because I’ve grown to have more confidence in myself.

I’m not a guy that’s going to brag or feel like I’m better than the group.

The clothes are not making me If I like it, that’s all that mattersIt’s not about the clothes. It’s about how I am as a person and how confident I am.

I don’t know what I’m going to do tomorrow. I just know for sure I’m going to keep playing basketball.

I just want to grow spiritually with the Lord. I’m keeping strong at it, just trying to make my walk with faith a little better.

I didn’t fall in love with it just because it was me playing. I fell in love with it because I’ve got guys like this – like these guys every single day that push me to be the best that I can be.

When I was 12, I forgot the keys to my parent’s apartment. So I simply climbed up seven floors to get in.

With my hand in his, I looked at all the apartment buildings with rushes of love, peering in the wide streetside windows that revealed living rooms painted in dark burgandies and matte reds.

If it’s putting on a great dance record and rocking out in your apartment, do it. If kissing someone for 10 minutes makes you feel confident, do it.

I first heard Laura Branigan sing live in my brother Nesuhi’s apartment, where we had gone because he had a very good piano. I immediately realized that she had a great pop voice, in the classical sense.

I’m a teenager, but I’m independent – I have my own apartment, I have my own life.

I love Obama. He’s my favorite president of all time. I have a giant picture in my apartment in New York that is of his Chicago Tribune cover, Mr. President.

What is found now is found then. If you find nothing now, you will simply end up with an apartment in the City of Death.

It would be a little bit hard to fit a treehouse in a New York City apartment.
