I don't think any player lives up to his potential, because people out there put you so high on a pedestal, you'll never be as good as they expect.

Life is too short to worry about anything. You had better enjoy it because the next day promises nothing.

I'm having a good time. I'm going to treat every game and every day as if they are my last because I now know that they could be.

Never give up and don't ask why because every situation does not need an answer. I'm a firm believer that I don't worry about anything I can't control.

That's what I love about integrity. Each time we go inside, that's where it is.

I'm not a comedian. I can play off of people, but I'm not that guy. I don't want people being like, 'Yeah, he should have stuck with drama.' It would not be my choice to have critics mumbling that.

Avoid your comfort zone - it's probably outdated anyway.

Art is not a pastime but a priesthood.

I'm a professional actor, not a celebrity.

I have faith in Faith, I have reverence for all true Reverence.
