There's a line that separates having confidence and being conceited. I don't cross that line, but I have a lot of confidence in myself.

Life changes when you have a child, when you have your own family. You become more careful about what you do. You're not going to be out late, going out to clubs, hanging out with your friends. You're going to be at home, taking care of your daughter, playing with her.

Mostly I play sports games - football and basketball. 'Inside Drive' and 'NFL Fever.'

I probably visualize myself, the shots I'm going to get in the game, how I'm going to play defense, what we have to do to stop the other team's best player, what it's going to take out of me, the whole aspect of the game.

I want to see my child grow.

I listened to Tupac and a lot of Biggie Smalls.

I worked at a hospital for a week. And at a golf course when I was in college at Kansas for about a week. The tips weren't good so I quit.

The media in Utah is not the same as the media in New York, so that can wear on some people.

I love the fact that I get to play against the Los Angeles Lakers in a Game 7 on the road.

People don't understand the power of love and family and strength.

I've always been a late bloomer. My body developed late. From ninth to 10th grade, I grew like 3 inches. Just kind of stretched out. I was like 6-1, grew to 6-4 in 10th grade.

I just think it's really upsetting when you see a community just go out and burn down stores and trash cars.

Usually, when you win the championship, you party all summer and don't work out. But when I won, I mean, I had my good times, but I used it as motivation to do it again. When you realize you can accomplish something so great, you want to do it again.

I like the Raiders. That's my favorite team.

I've never been on the cover of a game. When people go into the store and see me on the cover of a game, maybe that will entice them to buy it.

We used to play 'Double Dribble' on Nintendo. Later, in high school, it was more 'NBA Live' and 'John Madden Football.'

Everybody knows how much I disliked the Knicks when I was with the Celtics, but I think it's grown to another level.

When you come off a losing season - one of the worst seasons in all of basketball - and get guys like Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett, two perennial All-Stars, we felt like we had a championship team.

You can't listen to every little thing that's bad or good said about you. I always used that - whenever I heard it, I used it as fuel to motivate me, man. That's how I was raised, whenever I came up.

Understanding who you are is saying, 'You're great; you have tons of confidence, and don't ever forget that.' And that helped me, man. Because when things weren't going right, I thought, 'You've got to remember who you are. Don't stray from that. Don't let these things get you down.'

Injuries are a big factor when you're trying to go on a championship run.

I originally was more into baseball and football, but being in Los Angeles, you just couldn't help but to fall in love with the game of basketball because they had such a winning tradition.

I respect our greats. I admire them.

That is one of my greatest strengths. I am not afraid to face challenges or any matchup in the league.

A lot of players know I've been around 13 years and this is my second lockout. I got a lot of respect. I know what's going on both for the league and the union.

I think too much of my leadership is done the bad way.

The rim is looking bigger and bigger every game.

Once people start making comparisons to a player of the past, they want you to be that player. I try to go out there and create my own image, my own style, my own type of game. Right now I can't even think of one guy I've been compared to.

At the beginning of the season, I set my goal to see if I can lead the league in scoring, because I feel I have that kind of ability. A lot of guys say it, but it's not really in their grasp. I feel that's really in my grasp.

Kids get influenced by other kids.

I'm a competitive player, and I love being on the court. If the NBA cancels the season I'm definitely looking at my options and considering going overseas.

Ubuntu is about a community coming together to help one another.

A lot of people that I've had around me have been my closest friends since junior high, back when we were exchanging each other's clothes, staying at each other's houses. That was before I had anything.

I'm a competitive person. I love the game of basketball. I'm a gym rat.

When you win a championship, it is a great feeling, and you really don't want that feeling to go away.

The Celtics don't celebrate anything but championships.

When you give a team life, give a team confidence, anything can happen in a Game 7.

You know coaches. Sometimes they ramble.

My favorite quarterback is Donovan McNabb. I think he's a complete quarterback. I love the way he can scramble and throw on the run. He can do it all. He can control a game.

Just soaking up the history of the Boston Celtics has been the best thing that's happened to me as a player.

The NBA is changing so much. It's not like when I came up, with that old-school mentality that practice really mattered.

I always say I wish I was in my prime matching up against LeBron. Let's see how many championships he would have won then.

The '80s, '90s, and early 2000s genes of competitive fire are dead and gone.

I think I've had an illustrious career.

It's just something I've always loved to do: talk basketball. It's easy for me to give my perspective, my analyst approach to it, because even when I played, I would watch film, talk about the game.

You see more friendships in the league. It's not like in the '80s when you had enemies, or you couldn't stand this guy, and there were fights all the time.

I've got three beautiful kids that wear me out after I get home from practice. I think that's a good thing so I'm able to get my rest.

If I had to single one guy out who is the most difficult player to guard in the league, it would have to be Carmelo.

Kobe is one of the best scorers in NBA history, but I don't have as much trouble with him in the post as I do with Carmelo.

LeBron is a great post-up player, but if you get him to settle for the jumper on some nights, you might be able to slow him down if his shot is off.
