“I want to show people who I really am, especially aspiring basketball players who want to be at this level. That’s what I’m about.”

I’m sure they’ve moved on. But in the back of my mind, I still have a thing for Seattle and always am going to remember what they’ve done for me.

I don’t have to be anybody I’m not.

I’m obviously not going to give you everything about my whole life, but as far as my personality, you see me all the time from watching the games.

The grass is not always greener on the other side. You learn to appreciate these people.

Chemistry is important. If you like your teammates, it’s going to be easier to play with them on the court.

I know what to keep to myself. I know what I want to give up.

I’m just content with myself, happy with myself.

I’m going to be me at the end of the day. And I think my family appreciates that. They’re happy for me that I’m finding out who I am, and I’m content with that.

I know that the hard work got me here. And the day I stop working hard, this can all go away.

I’m going to let you know the real, and I’m going to let you know the real as I can about me.

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.

And sometimes we aspire to have these ideas in our heads of what perfection is.

Whereas the graphic novel is now being held up as something to aspire to and as something that’s respectable for adults to read.

Every actor has his own identity. I don’t aspire to be Bond. My quest is to do something new, something different.

I try to be that inspiration, you know. It’s not as bad as people try to make it seem. I mean, it is, but it’s not. People don’t have to be afraid of it; they don’t have to be held down by it. Try to find triumph in the situation.

I truly believe that diversity is so important, and I hope that I can use my platform to encourage and inspire other aspiring female artists.

I aspire to be an old man with an old wife laughing at old jokes from a wild youth.

When I turn my mind’s eye upon myself, I understand that I am a thing which is incomplete and dependent on another and which aspires without limit to ever greater and better things…

Don’t aspire to make a living, aspire to make a difference.
