It's never over. You don't want to be in the position to be down four runs in the ninth inning, but it's not over until the last out.

We just want to win. That's the bottom line. I think a lot of times people may become content with one championship or a little bit of success, but we don't really reflect on what we've done in the past. We focus on the present.

My best vacation is somewhere I could hide, somewhere warm and not a lot of people around.

God, I hope I wear this jersey forever.

Walking around sometimes, I would love to just be able to watch people, see how they act. Sometimes I would love to be invisible.

The last thing you want to do is finish playing or doing anything and wish you would have worked harder.

You gotta have fun. Regardless of how you look at it, we're playing a game. It's a business, it's our job, but I don't think you can do well unless you're having fun.

If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose.

Your image isn't your character. Character is what you are as a person.

I looked up to my parents because they were very successful in what they wanted to do. I was lucky; I didn't have to look far for role models.

When you put a lot of hard work into one goal and you achieve it, that's a really good feeling.

Surround yourself with good people. People who are going to be honest with you and look out for your best interests.

I love it when people doubt me. It makes me work harder to prove them wrong.

I'm not perfect; no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes.

There may be people who have more talent than you, but there's no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do - and I believe that.

The first thing I got my mom when I got some money was a house.

My mom raised six kids on her own.

You'd go back to school and your friends would say, 'What you get for Christmas?' You got to make up a lie. 'I got this, this and this.' It's all part of growing up and everyone has a different story. It made me who I am today.

My memories of Christmas, it was more about being around family.

The whole basketball world, it's a fantasy and it's short-lived.

My mom did what she could and I was grateful for whatever it was.

We weren't the most fortunate family growing up.

Putting a smile on kids, putting a smile on families' faces, changing people's lives with your so-called status and celebrity with your so-called impact, that's reality.

I love Sacramento. I consider this home.
