Nobody can tell you what your destiny is.

You make yourself be whatever the hell you want to be, at the end of the day.

A close friend of mine's daughter was diagnosed with Epilepsy and battled seizures her first 2 years so this cause hits close to home. She ended up having brain surgery and has been seizure-free since. It really is an incredible story. Anything I can do to help promote Epilepsy awareness, I am with it.

When they say I'm a bad teammate and that I got a coach fired, that irritates the hell out of me. The biggest thing for me is to always have respect for my teammates. And then the whole Westphal thing - the man got himself fired. He was losing before I got here.

I love my job. If I have a chance to play against some of the top talent in the world or whether it's against guys around the corner, I'm going to play.

Leadership is being the best example you can be for your teammates. The guy that everybody can depend on on a nightly basis.

I've never been a guy who plays the political game. It's either right or wrong; that's how I was raised.

Sometimes I let some of the small things take over. It can be a simple thing, like a call going the wrong way, and it takes me all off.

Social media is the devil. Absolute devil. Oh, my God. It's the worst thing ever.

It's just, some players I don't respect. Just their playing style of basketball. I don't respect it. I feel like it's basically cheating and I don't respect a cheater. If that's your tactic to winning, I don't respect you.

I loved my experience in college.

I get out in the 'hoods. I want to go to the worst, the grimiest places. That's where I want to be. Those are usually the kids or the communities that kind of get left behind or forgotten about. I feel like I was in that situation at one point. That's where my mindset is and that's what I stand for.

Hopefully with my so-called celebrity, I can help open more people's eyes to Epilepsy disorders.

No matter how much time there is, if guys can come together and mesh and play with some type of chemistry, you're going to win games.

I'm big when it comes to respect. But it's a two-way street, in my eyes.

You can call it what you want: bad attitude, immature. You can say, 'He's a thug.' But I'm a competitor.

The body can take you wherever your mind goes. If I can do it in my mind, I think my body will follow.

People say they hate having fake people around, but when you keep it real, they hate you even more. People don't like the truth.

God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers.

Knicks fans are great. New York fans in general are awesome. They're passionate as hell, they know the sports, they know the game.

I had a lot of veteran guys who taught me things.

In any situation in order to excel and reach the pinnacle with a group of people, there have to be sacrifices.

If you don't smell nice before the game, it's going to be pretty bad during and after.

I want to play as long as I possibly can.
