I like to be straightforward with whatever I'm doing, whether it's basketball, whether it's meeting someone, whatever it is.

I'm just kind of laidback and reserved.

I lay back and see how I can do things the right way.

It was fun getting my feet wet on an NBA floor.

Southern hospitality, that's where I come from.

What I'm learning about myself is, no matter what the challenge is, I can overcome it.

I feel like I gotta get out of myself sometimes. I think I'm in my own world sometimes. I don't like to let other people come into my own world. Especially with my teammates, my coaches, I should be doing that. The important people that need to know how I'm feeling. I can do a better job of telling them exactly how I feel.

People around me, they can give me talks, they can tell me what to do, but if I don't have the right mentality, then nothing good is going to happen for me because I'm not going to be confident.

J. Cole is definitely one of my favorite artists, but I like a lot of different music.
