I'm not like the next Michael Jordan, but I'm also not what everyone saw me as before I started playing in the NBA, either.

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.

At dramatic rehearsals, the only author that's better than an absent one is a dead one.

One of the mistakes I made was believing that the rock 'n' roll genre as a genre was much more free than the whole pop or R&B scene.
