For me, when I get knocked down, I really try to get back up and go at it again. I don't like to give up.

All these people, all these things came into my life, and they're all blessings from God. And now that I look back, I realize that these are His fingerprints all over my story.

I'm not playing for other people; if I start thinking in those terms I would put too much pressure on myself. I play basketball because that is what I love to do.

Sometimes you come up against a mountain and you end up making the mountain seem bigger than God.

You don't get better if you win all the time. You look at yourself more when you lose.

My identity is in Christ, not in basketball.

I want to be a representative and be a role model for the Asian American community.

I have worked out with the Thunder, Lakers, Knicks, Grizzlies, Spurs, and a few others before the draft. I have worked out primarily against shorter and supposedly faster players in these workouts.

Well, I'm not here to live up to anyone else's expectations-I'm here to live up to mine.

If you look back at my story, it doesn’t matter where you look, but God’s fingerprints are all over the place.

This is my dream being lived out and I'm so thankful for that.

Rather fail and struggle than succeed and be complacent.

Bad spellers of the world untie!

The great thing about my parents is they didn't preach anything they didn't practice.

Our very wretchedness grows dear to us when suffering for one we love.

I think to many people, textured curls still signify 'difference.' And kids like to pick on what's different.

I could always throw the ball pretty well and I worked pretty hard at learning how to play the game. But I didn't consider it work as a kid, since I just loved playing baseball.

Anyone who is practicing understanding and compassion can exemplify true power. Anyone can be a Buddha.

In November 2004, U.S. occupation forces launched their second major attack on the city of Falluja. The press reported major war crimes instantly, with approval.

Creation cost Him nothing; salvation cost Him everything.

I was very lucky because Tim Burton really gave me a career. I don't think Hollywood would've known what to do with me. If I hadn't done 'Beetlejuice,' I think I would've just gone back to my school.
