That's what I'm always searching for - finding the balance between not caring so much to where I put all this pressure on myself. But still caring enough to where it pushes me to work exactly how I've been working so far.

There's times in games where I feel like I can manipulate and control the game by doing a lot of things. And then there's times where I feel like I'm not inside the flow of the game.

The hardest thing for me is to be patient and realize that it's not all going to happen right now. I just have to keep digging away, digging away. Just keep working on my game.

I love the process. It's like I've fallen in love with the process of trying to become great.

I've never seen somebody get more flak than Colin Kaepernick for silently and nonviolently protesting and standing up for something he believes, and something that obviously is an actual problem.

My biggest problem with everything going on is the lack of understanding and the lack of respect in this world.

Me personally, I'm always going to lead by example first. But there are moments where I need to use my voice and go up to a guy and get my message across.

I've put myself in the best possible positions through my daily training and my recovery processes and my offseason regimen and preparation. I break down when I have these freak injuries happen, when the hard work is basically thrown out.

I want to be a Hall of Famer, have an impact on my franchise, and you can do all of that by winning a championship.

That's the good thing about sports - it's very clear-cut. You either win, or you don't.

I think everybody's ideal is to have a wonderful career with one franchise, like Kobe and Tim Duncan.

I just like to be alone sometimes and think.

L.A.'s been my home.

I was a big fan of Shaq when I was little, but I don't think I'm going to play too much like him, though.

You just have to know that there's people watching you, and you've got to be a positive role model and not put yourself in bad situations.

Food is a big part of my life.

I think a lot of people have the idea that all I do is dunk and all I do is make layups.

Slow motion goes one of two ways. It either makes it look really, really cool, or it makes it look really, really bad.

Coach Capel's got style. He's always got fresh Nikes on. He's got some pretty sweet suits.

I get that question almost more than any other. Once people feel a little comfortable, they're always like, 'So, what, uh, uh, what, um, what's your ethnicity?'

No one has ever bitten me, and I've never bitten anyone on the court.

I bought my parents a house. Then I bought myself a Rolex. My brother forced me to do it, but I'm glad he did.

During the playoffs, I tone down the Internet usage.

One of my favorite games of all time was on Nintendo 64 - 'NFL Blitz.' I don't know why, I just loved that game - being able to hit people after the play and stuff was always fun.
