“Sometimes I feel like being real and open to them, but at the same time, I know how much I can give you.”

All this stuff is kind of surreal to me – Ididn’t think I’d be in the league or none of that. It was making it to college. That’s about it.

I want to have some stuff that I keep for myself, my friends, my family, my loved ones. That’s how I view.

I like the nucleus that we have. I’m excited. I want to be here as long as possible. It’s like family. I love being here.

Jimmer Fredette is the best scorer in the world!!

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.

My dream was to become a rec league coach. I love basketball so much,

I’ve learned that it’s harder to try to put on this goody two-shoes persona when that’s not me.

This city, all they want us to be is ourselves. You love us how we are. We’re all a work in progress as men and you still love us and I thank you so much for embracing us.

It’s hard to play well, but it’s easy to work hard.

You know, I think more people should watch women’s basketball. It’d do so much for the game.

I want people to know what they didn’t know about me. I just wanted them to know the real side.

This was an extremely difficult decision as I take great pride in representing our country. I know that I owe it to my USA Basketball teammates to be totally invested in the experience. After going through training camp with USAB.

It’s all about knowing the balance, because I like to remain somewhat of a mystery. You need to have that, you know what I mean?

I feel like I can get a good feel for people.

I’m not the type of guy who’s just going to throw the ball inbounds to a guy who’s wide open. I can make the right pass.

I was always in the gym. People would look at me crazy because I spent so much time there. But that’s what it was about. I’m glad I did it.

There’s a time in everybody’s life they really don’t want to talk to people: they want to get away from talking or being on the phone and stuff.

Perhaps the world’s second worst crime is boredom. The first is being a bore.

In my own musical existence I don’t feel that being a guitar player is like the best thing on earth to be. I would rather be a balanced musician.

Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue.

For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks.

Right now, America is under the gun. It’s being tested and is being co-opted in a big way.

Not even always preaching but just leading, motivating them by being a leader.

The most important quality in a leader is that of being acknowledged as such. All leaders whose fitness is questioned are clearly lacking in force.
