I think if I had one year of college, I'd have done better with the mental part [of the NBA].

I always find a couple of hecklers... I'll kinda look at them, stare at 'em, and let them know I can't be stopped.

I've taken my bumps and bruises, but you've got to be willing to get knocked down and pick yourself up. You can't get discouraged. You can't lose sight of what your goals are.

I think blocking a shot at a crucial point of the game is the most incredible feeling.

I know I'm a good person. I know I can play basketball.

I'm a very emotional player. I use emotion because my team feeds off it.

In college you learn about college

If we win, I don't care if I get 20 boards or five boards.

If my team isn't motivated, it's my fault. I can't consider myself the best of the best until my team is able to get out of the first round.

I want to be in the best winning situation. I don't want to be around anybody who's just interested in playing out the season and then going home for the summer.

I could have written a story about a well-adjusted family. Ned Stark comes down to King’s Landing and takes over and solves all their problems. Would that have been as exciting?

I drink to forget I drink.

I voluntarily inflicted a certain level of insanity on myself.

I am never afraid to serve the society. And if someone objects, I will send them a garland.
