In a season, you're going to go through slumps.

On the defensive end, I have to do my job.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm lost. But I've always said that I believe in God.

Whatever happens happens. If something happens, something happens. But I believe in God, and I pray every day.

I always like to have some type of connection with the crowd.

I think the concept of minute restrictions is kind of complicated. I don't think there should ever be minute restrictions. I think it should always be about how my body feels and how it's reacting.

I love when people talk trash.

I started playing basketball very late, and for me to make it to the league so fast... I've always said my life is a movie.

If I feel great and my body feels great and my knee is fine, I should play 30 minutes or more. I definitely have my opinion on that.

Back in 2011, I was kind of shy. I wasn't as good because that was the year, also, when I started playing basketball.

If they're going to foul me, I'm going to step to the line and make some free throws.

If I'm playing well, and we're winning games, that's what I want.

One thing the fans got to understand is that I missed two years, and we took it really, really slow, and we made sure everything was good, and my foot has been great.

I feel like I have a lot of potential, a lot of stuff to show.

I'm just going to do my job, what coach wants me to do, be a defensive piece, and when needed to be a scorer, I'm going to be that.

I'm starting to figure it out - figure out my spots, where I should be on the court, where I'm most effective, and how I handle double teams - and it's paying off.

Every time I'm on the court, every time a fan cheers for me, I just want to go out and make a play for them to cheer even more.

I want to be the Defensive Player of the Year and, if I have the chance, be MVP.

Philly will be the place for me for my whole career.

I want to win the MVP. I feel like, at the end of the day, it might be an individual award, but when I play better, the team also does.

I'm trying to dominate, and if you dominate, you're going to be hated because you're going to talk so much stuff.

One thing when I started playing in the league, I saw that a lot of guys are friendly. It's OK to be friendly, especially off the court. But on the court, I want to dominate.

I look like I'm not listening, but I'm actually listening. I like listening to everything, observing everybody, just taking everything in, and then, in my mind, figuring out what's good for me and what's bad for me.

If the team needs me to recruit somebody, I'll be here. I'll be doing that.
