I'm just trying to grow. That's one thing I told myself is, 'Don't worry about who people say is the best player.'

You sacrificed for us - you're the real MVP.

So many people doubted me. They motivated me every single day, to be, who I am.

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 didn’t fall in love with it just because it was me playing. I fell in love with it because I’ve got guys like this – like these guys every single day that push me to be the best that I can be.

Whoever want my spot can play me one-on-one for it.

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

First off, I'd like to thank God for changing my life. It let me really realize what life is all about. Basketball is just a platform for me to inspire people, and I realize that.

My dream was to become a rec league coach. That's what I wanted to do. I wanted to stay home and help the kids out and be a coach.

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.

Last, I just want to thank God again. He's the first and the last. Alpha and Omega. I thank you for saving my life.

Measure your life by how much of your time you have converted.

I'm very, very attracted to morally ambiguous characters, not just pure bad guys or pure good guys.

You are the power in your world! You get to have whatever you choose to think!

Should any man tell you that a mountain had changed its place, you are at liberty to doubt it if you think fit; but if any one tells you that a man has changed his character, do not believe it.

If you're writing about a character, if he's a powerful character, unless you give him vulnerability I don't think he'll be as interesting to the reader.

I find I enjoy myself most on those days when it's just me and a couple close friends away from it all. True human interaction in a day when we are all spread so thin.

Long sentences in a short composition are like large rooms in a little house.
