That's why I've been working so hard, I believe in myself, believe that I've got talent.

It's a long season. You never know what could happen.

There's always something to look forward to.

I don't hold any grudges.

I like that run and gun type of stuff. That fits right into how I like to play.

I grew up a Laker fan.

Even in practice, me and Kobe get into it every day. I do my best to challenge him. He's still going to be Kobe, talking trash.

Gotta get my body right, watch my diet.

I'm the king of the dancing video games, actually. I'm good.

My dad tells me I smile to keep from crying. I don't know about that. But I do think you sometimes smile to hide.

I can't be snitching.

It builds character, it builds chemistry, when you're fighting amongst each other and able to brush it off and still talk and still have fun with each other.

Playing into June is the best thing.

Players see shots not falling - that plays a role. That plays a major role in your confidence out there, too.

I believe L.A. made me, really raised me. I think about that all the time. If I was raised in New York, how would I be? Would my game be different? You know, I think about that a lot, if I was raised somewhere else.

When they talk about you in trades or being let go, there's just so much negativity around, that's bad. But when you're doing good, and teams want you, they want to trade for you, that's good.

I know the Lakers are gonna make decisions for the Lakers.

I believe, myself, just being a part of the Lakers is one of the best experiences I've had.

You can't back down from a challenge - no matter who it is.

When I'm out there, I don't play like Charmin. I like Scott Tissue. It's a little rougher.

Sometimes I'm in the mood to wear crazy stuff, like a shirtless look with a Saint Laurent suit.

Swag is confidence: how you dress, how you move, your whole persona.

My first love was being a dancer.

I can't play like Kobe, man. There's only one Kobe.
