I think it's harder to be in the NBA than the NFL.

Swaggy P is heaven-sent. I'm like a prophet of swag, so the name was heaven-sent.

I love basketball.

I tweet a lot of crazy stuff.

If the color is dope, then the shoe is just automatically going to be cool.

I don't have to go through life being mean or having a stern face just to play basketball. I enjoy the game and play it how I like to play it.

It's hard to guard somebody like myself. It's tough.

Growing up in L.A., Kobe was my idol, really.

I'm a flashy man.

Dancing sometimes you just get your groove on. I can dance. I'm kinda like Michael Jackson.

I'd say I have no conscience, to a certain extent.

Can't be no Mamba. I don't want to be a snake.

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

My first love was being a dancer.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

Playing into June is the best thing.

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.

I can't be snitching.

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

Gotta get my body right, watch my diet.

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.

I grew up a Laker fan.

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

I don't hold any grudges.

There's always something to look forward to.

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

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

If we're gonna lose, we'll all lose together. If we're gonna win, we'll win together.

Any time you score 100-something points, you're supposed to win.

Me and Kobe are always going to talk trash and get into it. But when he talks trash to everybody else, some people tend to shy away.

It doesn't matter who it is on the court. Just play your game.

I'm just an outgoing cool cat.

I've been in this league for 12 years. They can say I don't take the game serious, but somebody who don't take the game serious don't last this long.

I don't like when people talk trash and then they get the W after and they feel like they did something. I don't like that feeling.

I just gotta do what I gotta do, when I gotta do it, you feel me?

I still gotta be Swaggy at the end of the day.

I can't doubt things when you're Swaggy P.

It's humbling being at home just chilling, watching TV, playing with the kids.

I say a lot of crazy stuff.

I got some good insights.

I looked up to my brother Terrell.
