“Sometimes you have to know when to shut the f – – up.”

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.

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 feel there is a great spiritual awakening on the planet right now.

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

That’s why I want to speak to you now. To say: no person, trying to take responsibility for her or his identity, should have to be so alone.

You can’t know if you’ll be here tomorrow or a year from now.

You can’t always think about what you’ve lost, or what you don’t have, or what you didn’t get. Because when you do that, you’re missing out on the now.

As of now they are still very young so that has come in the form of dress up, make believe and singing songs.

I have held the following jobs: office temp, ticket seller in movie theatre, cook in restaurant, nanny, and phone installer at the Super Bowl in New Orleans.

I try to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but I have to indulge every now and then!
