I'm a Christopher Nolan fiend. I love 'Inception,' 'Interstellar,' 'The Prestige,' 'Memento' and of course the Batman trilogy. I love all his movies.

I think it's important to have open lines of communication and I think the best lines of communication are two-way lines.

As we grow up and we're developing, our ego needs to be contained, otherwise we'd all be selfish two- and three-year-olds, screaming every time we didn't get our way.

As late as my junior year, I was taking Italian at Duke because I thought I was going to have to go overseas and play. Then I had a great senior year and became a lottery pick.

For the most part, someone who is in love with mechanical watches is not going to decide to wear a smartwatch over a mechanical watch.

You always look forward to the start of the regular season. It's like opening presents on Christmas morning.

Growing up, I didn't know anyone that was a watch collector or into watches, but I was always kind of curious about them. Before the NBA Draft, I knew I was going to get drafted, and I wanted to commemorate that by buying a watch.

I feel like I'm a guy who consistently makes the right play and the right reads offensively and that helps my teammates.

As a professional athlete, the onus is on you to take responsibility.

I'm not into trends, but more enduring classics and styles.

It's always a great joy to give back.

I always talk about shooting being broken down into three things. You have to have some semblance of good form. The second part is repetition: doing things over and over again until you really develop a skillset. And then the third part is confidence. But for me, you can't have confidence without having that second part.

Every situation I've been in in my career, you just sort of adapt, and figure out where you can be effective.

Nothing can prepare an 18-year-old for the fishbowl that is Duke basketball. So that was difficult.

Out of all the records, my proudest was breaking Coach Johnny Dawkins's scoring record.

I shoot my highest percentage from the right corner, and it's also the shortest shot.

I've been on teams where you literally don't talk to each other at dinner. Just six guys on their phones.

Generally speaking, you want to put three or four shooters around a dominant center and have him just roll to the basket.

I have this personality where I'm all in on something or I'm off of it.

I think with defense especially, you have your core principles. If you do those consistently, then it's easy to make, sort of, game-to-game adjustments. But, when you're not doing your core principles consistently, you end up just guessing a lot. To be honest with you, that's what bad teams do.

I'm not sure my own family liked me at Duke.

I don't own a watch anymore. Literally, that was an addiction. I'm not afraid to admit that. It took me over. My possessions possessed me.

To be able to give back and be able to help people, it means a lot to me. I'm humbled by it, honestly.

I've never valued material things. I've always been more attached to people. The pursuit of material things takes time, and I realized my time is very valuable especially during the season. My time with my kids, what I do to take care of my body, and of course any intellectual pursuits I may have on the side. Those are all things that I value.

When I got done at Duke, I almost felt ashamed of it. I almost tried to distance myself from being the Duke guy.

At the end of every season I look in the mirror and ask myself what can I do better? Where did I screw up this year?

I think the coach-player relationship is a two-way thing. You have to be willing to take suggestions as a player and vice versa.

One of the reasons that the NBA is so good is NBA Twitter.

I'm very proud of my time at Duke, my career at Duke, but as you get older and become an adult, you lose some head bobs. That's not part of the routine anymore.

It's certainly a different feel in the locker room after the game when you win.

I played ACC and NCAA Tournament games in my backyard - these imaginary games - and when I finally got to experience it in real life, it was better than I could imagine.

Kind of making that leap from a team that wins occasionally to a team that wins the majority of the time, a lot of times just comes down with figuring out how tough it is to win, and then executing down the stretch to do it.

I listen to a lot of hip hop artists, and I think hip hop and poetry go hand in hand. The 'Def Jam Poetry' on HBO is just so sick to me.

New Orleans has an incredible culture. Everybody brings up food first, but I realized there's a lot more to that in terms of music and art and people and history.

I feel like I've been mentoring young guys for a long time.

I've certainly benefited from the three-point line and the emphasis on shooting them.

I've been very fortunate to be on some great teams and in great locker rooms.

I'm not naive - I think it's rare in the NBA every day to actually be able to enjoy being around the people you're working with.

My parents always wanted me to do the right thing. My mom, I think her exact words were, 'You're not a chicken in the coop playing in the scraps, you're an eagle.' I was like, 'Oh, OK... ' But really, I've used that throughout my life.

My mother is a nutritionist, so we always ate well.

At the end of every season, I try to assess what I did well and what I didn't do well.

Nutrition is a big part of my life and it always has been.

With social media, I've never felt completely comfortable with it.

I hate to admit it, but anytime you're at a stoplight and your phone is within reach? You pick it up. It's become instinctual. Even if you put the phone down and walk out of the room, you're always aware of where it is. It's become an extension of you.

Twitter has now just become a bunch of angry voices. That for me, I had to detach from there.

We're going to have a generation of kids whose norm will be people just being addicted to their phones. And that's what scares me. The impact on my kids, I think about that daily. Like, what is this doing to me and my family?

I'm very grateful to be able to give back.

I know when I was a kid, I looked up to athletes. So, if an athlete spoke out on an important issue, then I was probably more likely to hear that opinion and to see that stance and recognize the importance of that.

It seems like you have to put so much into winning on the road and playing well on the road.

For me, I spent four years at Duke, and I was 22 my rookie year. For a lot of guys, I was old as a rookie, but nothing could prepare me for the NBA, both on the court and off the court.
