I'm a guy that a lot of people look up to. I haven't always handled situations the right way. That's why I have to continue to grow and be a better player, a better leader.

I got drafted at 19. I've got millions of dollars in my pocket, I could have lost my damn mind. I don't see how you could consider me immature.

I know I've done bad things. But I've done just as much good as I have done bad. And it's not even necessarily bad. I would say they're growing pains.

I don't really consider myself a center.

I'm just a basketball player. There's so much I can do on the floor.

Some of my technicals, I don't even understand. I see some of those technicals other players get, and I compare them to mine and they're completely unfair.

When you have a cop approaching your car with his hand on his gun, I know it may be protocol, but us being the people we are, you automatically feel as if you're a criminal. So where's the respect then? You probably won't respond the correct way. So how do we find a common ground then?

I can remember games where the crowd was the reason we won it. It's well known the Kings have incredible fans.

I am who I am. You can either love it or hate it.

I'm comfortable in my skin.

One of my biggest fears is to be proven wrong by somebody that doesn't agree with me or doesn't have my best interest at heart. With that being said I'm always seeking to prove those types of people wrong.

I don't think anyone can stop me one on one, period.

D.C. basketball has adopted me, and I consider D.C. home.

I'm going to make the best decision for me, and I believe teams are going to do the same thing.

I know my mindset. I know how hard I work at my craft.

I get the chance to play for my country. That's the biggest stage. It's an honor for me.

I love giving local kids and families the chance to experience Kings basketball for the first time.

Very proud of where I'm from, very proud of what I've been through.

If I can help a kid in any type of way or make their lives easier, I'm always down for it.

I'm all about being a role model to kids. I enjoy doing it, and I like putting smiles on kids' faces.

The opportunity to represent my country at the Olympic Games is one of the greatest honors I've experienced in my career.

I'm excited to contribute towards U.S.A. Basketball's winning legacy and continuing its tremendous reputation around the world.

I love Sacramento. I consider this home.

Putting a smile on kids, putting a smile on families' faces, changing people's lives with your so-called status and celebrity with your so-called impact, that's reality.

We weren't the most fortunate family growing up.

My mom did what she could and I was grateful for whatever it was.

The whole basketball world, it's a fantasy and it's short-lived.

My memories of Christmas, it was more about being around family.

You'd go back to school and your friends would say, 'What you get for Christmas?' You got to make up a lie. 'I got this, this and this.' It's all part of growing up and everyone has a different story. It made me who I am today.

My mom raised six kids on her own.

The first thing I got my mom when I got some money was a house.

Saying, 'I'm sorry' is the same as saying, ' I apologize.' Except at a funeral.

Swimming is a confusing sport, because sometimes you do it for fun, and other times you do it to not die. And when I'm swimming, sometimes I'm not sure which one it is.

I think it would be cool if you were writing a ransom note on your computer, if the paper clip popped up and said, 'Looks like you're writing a ransom note. Need help? You should use more forceful language, you'll get more money.'

The digital camera is a great invention because it allows us to reminisce. Instantly.

My favorite fruit is grapes. Because with grapes, you always get another chance. 'Cause, you know, if you have a crappy apple or a peach, you're stuck with that crappy piece of fruit. But if you have a crappy grape, no problem - just move on to the next. 'Grapes: The Fruit of Hope.'

I used to play sports. Then I realized you can buy trophies. Now I am good at everything.

I like to use 'I Can't Believe it's Not Butter' on my toast in the morning, because sometimes when I eat breakfast, I like to be incredulous. How was breakfast? Unbelievable.

A lot of people don't like bumper stickers. I don't mind bumper stickers. To me a bumper sticker is a shortcut. It's like a little sign that says 'Hey, let's never hang out.'

I think that when you get dressed in the morning, sometimes you're really making a decision about your behavior for the day. Like if you put on flipflops, you're saying: 'Hope I don't get chased today.' 'Be nice to people in sneakers.'

The bird, the bee, the running child are all the same to the sliding glass door.

I love women, but I feel like you can't trust some of them. Some of them are liars, you know? Like I was in the park and I met this girl, she was cute and she had a dog. And I went up to her, we started talking. She told me her dog's name. Then I said, 'Does he bite?' She said, 'No.' And I said, 'Oh yeah? Then how does he eat?' Liar.

I like fruit baskets because it gives you the ability to mail someone a piece of fruit without appearing insane. Like, if someone just mailed you an apple you'd be like, 'huh? What the hell is this?' But if it's in a fruit basket you're like, 'this is nice!'

I keep a lighter in my back pocket all the time. I'm not a smoker, I just really like certain songs.

I like video games, but they are very violent. I want to create a video game in which you have to help all the characters who have died in the other games. 'Hey, man, what are you playing?' 'Super Busy Hospital. Could you leave me alone? I'm performing surgery! This guy got shot in the head, like, 27 times!'

Employee of the month is a good example of how somebody can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.

I wanna make a jigsaw puzzle that's 40,000 pieces. And when you finish it, it says 'go outside.'

The worst time to have a heart attack is during a game of charades.

If you can't tell a spoon from a ladle, then you're fat!

I wonder what the most intelligent thing ever said was that started with the word 'dude.' 'Dude, these are isotopes.' 'Dude, we removed your kidney. You're gonna be fine.' 'Dude, I am so stoked to win this Nobel Prize. I just wanna thank Kevin, and Turtle, and all my homies.'
