I dedicate much of my success to what I learned inside and outside the classroom at Porter-Gaud, and I want to give that same opportunity to other kids in Charleston.

I knew I wasn't going to be a dunker.

I'm trying to make the game easier for everyone else.

It's a tough grind sometimes. Playing 82 games and the travel, it can wear you down. It's definitely something you have to learn and adjust to. If you don't, you can play your way out of the league very quickly.

Getting that degree is something that is very important to me and my family.

I've worked on my game to the point where anything they've asked of me, I try to come through and do it for them, whether that's defending, making plays, being a decoy, or knocking down shots and being a scorer.

It comes to the point where, if a midrange shot is there, I'm going to take it. If I'm open, I have to shoot that shot. That's a great shot for the team and myself.

Some people will have their opinions, but to be in the league, you have to have confidence that you're one of the best.

I'm just trying to shoot in rhythm. That's the biggest thing for my shot from long range. I don't try to speed it up too much.

I'm an unselfish player.

In high school, I played a lot of point forward, and I had to get everyone involved.

I have always been the kind of guy who just takes it one day at a time.

Focus on what needs to be done that day. Don't think too far ahead. Once you start thinking too far ahead, you get distracted by things that don't matter on that day.

Waffle House is my childhood thing. We used to go there on Sundays or weekends every now and then with my family. It's just good, Southern, home-cooked food, and that's what I love.

To be a Milwaukee Buck, it's a great feeling. It's a unique feeling. It's a small-city market, but when you live there, and you play there every night, you realize how much you mean to that city and how much you can do to impact people's lives around there.

It's a business. But as a player, it sucks to know you were just thrown into a trade for it to work.

I have a more old-school game.

I'm not the most athletic guy who is able to make these crazy layups or dunk all over people. I'm more of a shooter, floater, lane guy - not too much flash. But it gets the job done.

If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If its marketed right, you'll buy it. But... If its real... you'll feel it.

Go where you're celebrated, not tolerated. I'm celebrated in Detroit.

I take the invasion of my personal space very seriously.

I could care less about what people think. I'm a Devil Without A Cause.

I have been to anger management twice. After the first session the lady was like, 'Baby, you don't seem that angry at all. You seem like a really nice guy.'

Surround yourself with good people. Whether they're the best or not, people are capable of learning if they've got good hearts and they're good souls.

As far as my street cred goes, I'll always have that, because I always hang with the kids. I'll jump right off the stage and buy them a beer. I'll be a star on stage, but I'll always hang with the kids.

There's always a Justin Bieber. Ever since I've been around, there's always been one of him. You know, you can trace it back from how old you are and the boy bands that came along then and the teen sensations and whatnot. And, you know, good for them. There's a few of them that make it out and a few of them that don't.

I didn't come from a trailer park. I grew up middle class and my dad had money and my mom made my lunch. I got a car when I was sixteen. I'm proud of that.

I see friends who are in different genres of music, and they say they're so burnt playing the same stuff every night. That's why you see a country act wanting to go out and play an old classic rock song. But what cracks me up is that they all want to be Jimmy Buffett. I can't figure that out.

Detroit: Cars and rock 'n' roll. Not a bad combo.

As a musician, you want the music in as many hands as you can get it into. More importantly, I want people to get the music for the fairest price, and in the most convenient way. And that's really turned into iTunes when you're talking about selling albums.

I don't write songs thinking about formats, where is it going to get played, who am I gonna please, what's the outlet for it.

I think what I've learned out of this lifetime is you should be proud of where you come from.

I'm in awe of people like Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard; they're great musicians and people. But I'm most starstruck by people in the small town where I live. Especially single dads, like me, who are working five times as hard to raise their kids.

Being a father helps me be more responsible... you see more things than you've ever seen.

Rock 'n' roll is much easier if you're white.

Everything I've done in my career has started in and around Detroit, you know, the metro area and Michigan.

I signal with an independent label, Continuum. After that I put out a totally independent record, sold fourteen thousand of them from my basement, bought a house, started raising my kid, made a decent living.

My shows aren't about trying to save some place, because I don't feel that's the right venue for it. That's my politics right there: Don't bring politics to my shows.

I'm not a greedy man; there really is nothing I couldn't live without. But if there was a fire, and I saved my child and my pets, I'd be happy.

I'm all about change, and I know things are going to move forward in life, and that's just how it goes.

I think generally I'm a pretty good person if I had to grade myself. Or toot my own horn.

I've always had a love of country music.

My good friends call me Bobby.

I truly believe that people like myself, who are in a position of entertainers in the limelight, should keep their mouth shut on politics.

Tell me if this is wrong. Justin Bieber... is 100 percent like watching Vanilla Ice all over again. It's exactly the same. Well, as soon as Bieber has a hit, he'll be like Vanilla Ice.

I think I did every drug known to mankind, smoked crack, boozed, dropped acid, you name it.

I always looked up to so many people before me and was lucky to become such good friends with them. I learned so much hanging out with those cats.

I'm a bit of an insomniac. I'm always thinking. I've got a lot of ideas for lyrics and shows. I have a notepad by the side of the bed and voice recorders around the house.

I think celebrity endorsements hurt politicians.

I know every Skynyrd and about all Johnny Cash songs.
