I've learned that social media and our private lives, you know, our private lives are not so private anymore, so it takes a little bit of getting used to.

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.

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.

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

If it pleases Him to bid our patience exercise itself, shall He not do as He wills with His own!

No scientist thinks in formulae.

It's like my whole life never happened, When I see you, it's as if I never had a thought. I know this dream, it might be crazy, But it's the only one I've got.

I love to cook, it's one of my most favorite things in the world. That's why I stopped being a vegetarian - I didn't want to serve people things I hadn't tasted myself.

They [sic] ain't gonna stop me from coming here, baby.

I wrote my first song when I was nine, and it was called 'Notice Me'. My Mom still has the piece of paper around somewhere, but I can't even imagine how terrible it is.

You cannot play the Song of Freedom on an instrument of oppression.

Acting probably saved my life. It gave me a home and a safe place to let out all of my emotions and have it be ok.
