I have an aversion to taking care of my gear, a wayward manifestation of my punk ethos.

'Brace the Wave' is an acoustic-electric record recorded with electricity on analog-digital and digitally-analog equipment.

I have really severe tinnitus.

I think people, just because of digital recording and how computers have become such an important part of our lives, I think the means to record music now is in more people's hands. It's a lot cheaper than it used to be.

I think musicians naturally gravitate toward music that sounds real.

Maybe I can't write without painting myself into a corner first.

All the issues you deal with get more complicated as you get older; it takes more focus to write songs that reflect what you've gone through.

I put all my big revelations into songs when I was in my 20s; as you get older, revelations are harder to come by.

I'll figure something out by writing a song about it.

Worry is a big part of my life. I definitely worry a lot.

Sebadoh were always kind of the un-band. We never really lived in the same town.

I'm realizing I need to be in close proximity to everyone I'm working with because that - I don't know - it keeps me engaged.

It just takes me awhile to get comfortable in any situation.

I've always gotten doubled. Coming off the bench, people try to eliminate bench scorers, so that's been my experience for years now. You just find ways to beat it.

A.I. didn't ask me to do a bunch of stuff for him. He just wanted me around. Usually we were at the Friday's in Philly, which he should have bought, because he was there so much.

Even though I've been tagged as a scorer and a guy who shoots a lot, I'm a guy that makes the best plays that I possibly can.

I've always said to my teammates that 'two points is two points, whether it's yours or mine.'

I enjoyed my time in Houston but it was short-lived and it really didn't make a huge impression on my life.

I always said if I had a son, I was going to give him a unique name.

The Rockets paid a healthy price for Chris Paul.

I'm kind of arrogant and cocky when I play... It's kind of weird. It's like I have split personalities.

Repetitions - I think that's one of the best ways during the season to maintain something or get better at it, is just to do it over and over.

I'm an Atlanta guy. I think Philly knows that. But I've adopted Philly as my second home, and they've embraced me.

I've had very supportive teammates.

Whenever I'm out on the basketball court, I lace up and just hoop. Whether it's in summertime, at practice, in the games, playoffs, every time I step out on the basketball court, I approach it the same way.

I grew up in Memphis, Tennessee. Big time blues and music city. It's always been in my bloodline.

I've never been a follower, but I've been an admirer.

I don't like idle time.

Kobe Bryant is a walking stat himself. He doesn't have to explain what he brings to the table.

Every 10 years the game changes.

I like to lead by example. I like to lead by my actions.

When you play in Toronto you feel like you're playing overseas. We can't wait to go on the road sometimes just to be in America.

I don't sleep much. I think it's hereditary. My mom doesn't sleep. My dad never slept. My naps are definitely when I get the most sleep. I'm a big napper - that's when I get most of my sleep.

When people treat you well, you just want to transfer it back over.

I've always had jewelry over the years, but when it comes to clothes, I'm just a white or black Polo tee guy with some jeans and a pair of Jordans, and I'm cool. As long as I'm comfortable, I'm cool.

Some guys like to eat two or three different times a day before the game. I eat once, and that's it.

You know what, Kawhi talks the most in our group chat. The dude is a leader.

I think as competitors, that's why we get into this, to gain respect from the guys who have played the game, and you walk away and they say, 'He was a tough cover - that dude was nice.'

It doesn't really matter to me whether you start or not. I play a lot of fourth quarters. I think that's what's most important to me. I think that's what I've always cared about, just having an opportunity to finish games when it's really winning time.

A lot of the stories I got on A.I., I can't say publicly. Overall, I just really appreciated how he went about going into games. He got a lot of flak for the 'practice' comment, but every game, he gave it his all.

You can go to war at 18, so you should be able to make a living at 18, especially if college isn't what you see for yourself.

Never give up. That's my Clippers story, never give up.

Greatness is contagious.

I always have these debates with my friends, I was like 'can you imagine dropping LeBron in '75?' and I was like 'bro he'd win 15 championships in a row.'

I don't make a decision till I see fit. That's why I'm so effective. My mind isn't predetermined.

I try to be the best old head I can be.

I'm just a baller. This is something I love to do and was probably born to do.

In the summertime you'll find me back home in Atlanta, in the gym playing against whoever walks in that day.

If you think that I got to come off the bench, then I am going to put you in a position to try to prove you wrong. Then after a while, it was kind of fun, and over the years it was my makeup.

I'm not a flopper. I hate when people say I'm a flopper. I don't flop. You never see me flying all over the floor. None of that. I barely fall down in games.
