I feel like people believe I'm thinking a different thing than I am because I have this look about me.

I wanted to be a complete player, and I felt like the dunks started to overshadow other parts of my game.

When the draft lottery came out, and the Clippers said they were gonna draft me, I went to Google to find out more about the Clippers because I didn't know a lot. And I was like, 'Okay, team owned by Donald Sterling.' So then I typed in 'Donald Sterling' in Google, and the first thing that pops up is 'Donald Sterling racist.'

I'm more than blessed to be able to play a PE sport for money.

I like to play physical, and I'm a big guy, and I think sometimes - maybe sometimes I am pushing somebody, and I don't realize how hard I'm pushing them. And then they do it back, and it's kind of like, 'Jeez!'

If I need to be, like, a guy that scores a lot, I'm willing to do that.

Sometimes you just have to calm down a little bit and let the system work itself.

Teams go on runs. We have to be able to withstand a run and not get down on ourselves.

You're not going to please everybody. I've just got to do whatever I feel is right, just use my judgment.

There are times when hard fouls are just a part of the game, and then there's times when they're a little bit further than that.

My first few years in the league, I was relying on my athleticism to get me by, because that's what got me to the NBA. The problem with that is, you end up getting really, really tired by February.

I've got to be the one at the end of games that people can rely on, that our guys can rely on.

You hate missing games. You hate leaving your teammates out there.

I still think, when you go to the Garden, it's a completely different feeling. The energy - there seems like there's just a consistent buzz the entire game.

Every team starts out at the beginning of the year saying, 'We want to win a championship,' but you've got to have a goal of getting to the playoffs first.

To me, I never get too caught up in the position thing. At the end of the day, you're playing your game.

I've never had hard feelings with any of my teammates who decided to leave or felt like it was best to leave.

If you get behind in first grade, then you're behind every grade from then on.

There are guys on different teams across the league who are bench guys, and guys who that - that's their role, to be on the bench encouraging guys to play hard and get good minutes.

I'm just trying to do my job and my part to make this a team that people respect.

I want to put expectations on our team that are high. That's kind of the way I've always been, and I want to put those expectations on our team as well.

The biggest thing I think is, 'It's OK to care. It's OK to want to win and to be that team. To be upset when we lose.'

We can't have the mindset of becoming complacent with losing.

It's just cool to try to leave behind something or improve something from how you left it.

College was such a pivotal time for me. It's a time when you have so much growth, and you kind of can choose one of many different paths.

Team Griffin Foundation is a foundation trying to inspire young men and women to give them organization, give them something to have, kind of like when I was growing up. I had people who were supporting me, giving me the right tools that I needed to be able to achieve my dreams.

I've been wearing Zegna for a while. It started a long, long time ago, my rookie year.

My parents, I've always said, are two of the hardest working people I know.

Lob City doesn't exist anymore. Lob City is done.

What you need to know about me is that I always just wanted to be a country singer. I didn't choose the path of television or being on magazine covers.

There needs to be an app that edits what I say versus what I want to say.

I think every cute girl is told to move to L.A. someday. So I do like the drive over from my house to the studio.

I love to deer hunt and fish and drive down the back roads in my truck. All those things basically equal freedom to me - and not having to return that message or call from my record company or management. At some point, I need to recharge.

My life has been an open book, for better or for worse.

Shoot, man, I love everybody! I don't have time to hate.

To me, what makes an artist is a unique personality that they're not afraid to let show.

When I think about the songs I might record, I ask myself, 'Can I picture anybody I know back home sitting in their truck cranking this up?'

I think you have to be willing to take a bullet for somebody if you're going to stand up there, take your vows, and be married to them for the rest of your life.

I get on Twitter, one of my routines during the day, if I'm home is, I wake up, get a cup of coffee, turn on the Weather Channel and I'll look at what people are saying to me on Twitter on my phone.

Anytime that the Arizona Cardinals play football, I scream at the top of my lungs at the television. And I have certain dances that I do.

The Doobie Brothers' 'What a Fool Believes' makes me want to move. And I still haven't gotten over the Macarena. Who has?

Michael Buble is seriously my favorite entertainer. Have you ever seen the guy in concert? He's hilarious. Women love him. Guys want to meet him. He has everything that I wish I could do onstage. And I'm guessin' he's a good-lookin' guy - although he's not one of 'People' magazine's sexiest men.

Where I live in Oklahoma, it's all ranchers. My friends are all cowboys and pretty rough guys. If I had a hot tub back there, I may as well have Richard Simmons come over and live with me.

Ironically, being a coach on 'The Voice' and spending time with those kids, Xenia and Dia especially, I learned a lot about myself. It reminded me how lucky I am that this happened for me, and it kind of lit the spark inside me again for my love of music.

I like California but I'm dyed-in-the-wool Oklahoma. I see a deer in L.A., and everybody's standing around it taking pictures. Back home, that's the enemy!

I'm not that smart, but I'm smart enough to know that if Usher wants to help you, you let him.

I've only had one platinum album, and it's 'Red River Blue'.

I've always had just enough success to buy me some more tour dates and another record.

I love to deer hunt and fish and drive down the back roads in my truck. All those things basically equal freedom to me - and not having to return that message or call from my record company or management.

I'm never going to listen to someone trash my wife.
