I always strive to get better.

Oh, I never knew I was going to be a great player.

If I'm healthy and having fun, then I want to play.

I like autobiographies. I wouldn't mind making one of those.

The feeling after the first title was shock. But both feel incredible.

Just because a guy is not a 3-point shooter doesn't mean he can't score.

The NBA is kind of where I've grown up, coming out of high school at 18.

I want people to use my story to stand up, be strong-willed and persevere.

The advice I would've given my younger self is, 'Be patient; just hold on.'

Once you go through something and come out of the storm, you've been tested.

I'm a walking testimony, a product of all the people in my life and my faith.

I'm a believer in God, I'm a believer that he puts us where he wants us to be.

I just always had a knack for handling and passing the rock and making things happen.

I've always wanted grandpa to be proud of me, and I want him to see me play in the NBA.

I'm really into kind of a 'Sixth Sense' type of movie - mysteries, thrillers a little bit.

I'm not like a preacher or philosopher, but at the end of the day, life is about happiness.

I'm hardest on myself. I'm my biggest critic. I ended up hurting myself a lot by doing that.

Going through my rehab kind of gave me a great perspective about what my game would be about.

The opportunity to play for Duke University is great, and that's the reason I chose the school.

I always just wanted to play my game, minimize mistakes so I had the best chance to make a roster.

Any time you sit out, it could throw off your rhythm a little bit, and I'm kind of a rhythm player.

I got a temper. But part of my role is to steady the ship. That's just to try to control your emotions.

We all have those friends that tick to their drum, and you don't want them to tick to anybody else's drum.

I was struggling, and I was struggling mentally more than anything, and that will carry over to the games.

The playoffs are like nothing else. The intensity is off the meat rack and I'm looking forward to going back.

God created us equal. Money and talent might be seen as setting us apart. But underneath, we're all the same.

I thought about possibly being in the front office, being on the management side of things like a GM one day.

My form is improved and I'm just continuing to improve. I want to come back as a shooter. A knockdown shooter.

Taking care of yourself turns into a lifestyle after you're done playing. So you don't just fall off the wagon.

I like putting things together. The long game. Strategizing. Being able to mix and match personalities of guys.

I can not express more the importance of treating your teammates, opponents and coaches with the utmost respect.

I was kind of an early bloomer. I played all the time, practiced all the time. So it just became habits, really.

I played with the Clippers when Golden State really wasn't cracking like that and Oracle Arena was still jumping.

There were some great veterans who I learned so much from and who helped make me the best I could be as a player.

I play to win. If I have great numbers, that's great. Obviously you feel good about it, but still, I'm playing to win.

I am a man of faith and faith is not always supposed to happen and what you see, sometimes it's just walking that path.

I'm just trying to find the fountain of youth. I'm trying to find some drops and sprinkle it in there. I'll find the well.

The best part of being with the Warriors has been the team camaraderie, the team meals, the team pranks, the bond we share.

When I got into the league, guys didn't expect me to be as quick and fast as I was. I think it was myself holding myself back.

As soon as I got in the NBA, I was thinking about it - wanting to use my influence and resources to help different communities.

Growing up watching the league, Allen Iverson was my favorite player. But once I got here, Steve Nash instantly became my favorite.

With my time in the league, what I will be most proud of is the fact that my character, values and faith were tested, and I persevered.

There are times in the game when you have lapses. It just means you're not as locked in as when you first get in or at the end of the game.

When you're playing spot minutes, it's harder to hit those shots. But if you're getting volume shots, now it's a lot easier to get a rhythm.

When you're in the right system, right fit and you got the right structure, it's easy to see certain players blossom. That was a key for me.

Coach Dunleavy has done a great job of humbling me, letting me go out there and make mistakes and I've got a great feel for the game right now.

All the adversity and discouragement is trying to cloud your mind. But I learned to deal with it. In the end, I'm happy and thankful and blessed.

Peoria has been near and dear in my heart. It's been with me wherever I've been. I always have wanted to give back and touch the city in some way.

You may have good days, there may be more bad days than good days, but on the good days you have to push yourself, get the most out of it as you can.

I was kind of advanced for my age, just because I started early, when I was maybe 6 or 7 years old. And my dad always had me playing with older groups.
