“I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and seasonally lived in New Orleans and Boston.”

I would still be breathing if all my money disappeared tomorrow.

I just simply believe in having purposeful relations, period. That’s what its about at the end of the day.

I think the world should be represented on television and for the longest its been limited.

I don’t admire how much a person has, I admire what a person does with what they have and I think that defines you most.

However, I do appreciate people that are individualistic, mainly because I’m an impressionable soul and my friends become my big sisters and brothers in a way.

Given that this was all at a tender age, I imagine I was very impressionable.

It’s always funny to me when people meet me. They really think I’m from the East coast off top. When they get to talkin’ to me, they go “Oh no, she’s sooooo Southern”

People want everything quick and now. We live in the age of social media and hyper digital.

My friends are me and in essence better than me, they help me be better even when they don’t know it.

I get a kick out of making a strangers day.

I refuse to accept the idea that money is evil. People make things evil and negative.

All music now is influenced by Hip Hop. It’s so deeply ingrained in the culture.

All of my close friends have been in my life for years. My best friends are all people I met in grade school, going back as far as 3rd grade.

I’m pretty grounded in a lifestyle which disciplines me and gives me a sense of familiarity and comfort.

There’s very few shows that truly reflect specific ethnic experiences, and when they come and come right, they’re a hit.

I have a unique ability to mock everything. I’m a sponge by nature, thats what my environment made me.

My kids are always like, ‘Why do people always want to take pictures with you?’ and I’m like, ‘Because I’m your Dada, and you’re my daughter. That’s why.’ It’s definitely mostly because of ‘Game of Thrones.’

It’s a very good thing to teach kids to finish what they started in the sense of fulfilling their commitments.

Every day, parents and teachers ask me, ‘How do I build grit in kids? What do I do to teach kids a solid work ethic? How do I keep them motivated for the long run?’ The honest answer is, I don’t know.

Every memory I have from when I was a kid involves basketball.

Even during my injury, I had fun because I got to be a regular college kid.

In general I was a good kid. It usually took a lot to make me mad. But once I reached the boiling point, I lost all rational control. Totally without thinking, when my anger was aroused, I grabbed the nearest brick, rock, or stick to bash someone. It was as if I had no conscious will in the matter.

I want the younger kids, the basketball players in high school and college to hear from me and let them know that when you come to the league, this is what happens and this is how I feel as an NBA player. And it’s not all peachy keen.

I think people have had the understanding for many years that whatever happens with the separation of parents, that the kids automatically go to the mother. The fathers don’t know their rights.
