“I am really competitive. I take my basketball very seriously, even though I’m not really that good. I take it very seriously.”

It’s hard for me to trust people, and especially girls it’s – I don’t really like doing the whole opening-up thing with girls.

I just have a really strong mind and I just believe in myself a lot.

Anybody wherever I’ve ever been in my life, one thing they can always say good or bad, I was always doing music and I always wanted to be a rapper.

I love working, that’s my life. I’m a lonely person anyway. I don’t like being around a load of people so I can work on myself and think.

It’s been an interesting life. I feel like I’m 40 years old at the age of 16.

You have to have a mentality, you can’t fail. You have to do it. That’s what’s helped me a lot.

I do believe in love. I don’t believe you find it at 16 but I think I believe in it.

I would of never thought I’d be here but here I am and I’m so fucking grateful for everything

I like playing for the purple and gold. This is where I want to finish up.

It doesn’t matter if you fall down, it’s whether you get back up.

My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.

I need music. It’s like my heartbeat, so to speak. It keeps me going no matter what’s going on – bad games, press, whatever!

As athletes, it’s no longer just about being the strongest, fastest, toughest, it’s so so so important to take that time for your mind and mental well-being.

I’m reflective only in the sense that I learn to move forward. I reflect with a purpose.

There are plenty of teams in every sport that have great players and never win titles.

I’m a guy who tries to be successful in all that I do, and when you fall short, it hurts.
