Obviously, I've had some tough times in my career. I've had some ups and downs just like anybody's life, but you just keep continuing to work hard.

My best friend in the pros is Brandon Davies, who I played with at BYU.

I can juggle.

I like Maroon 5 and Andy Grammer, but I also like hip-hop a lot.

Pizza is definitely my favorite food. I usually go with a pepperoni and sausage mix. But I love the New York-style thin crust.

My favorite type of food is probably Italian. But I love steakhouses. I love Mexican Food. I mean, I really like it all.

The biggest thing for me when I travel is finding the best food in every city. I always try to find the best restaurant and take advantage of it because it's cool to go to a lot of different cities and experience a lot of different cultures. So I'm big on the food.

Passing the basketball - I feel like I've gotten better with that.

It's a league where guys are trying to play to the best of their ability, whether you're a superstar or trying to make the NBA.

I think every NBA player is trying to prove himself every day.

It's exciting to be able to go out and compete every night and show what you can do.

Every single night, I try to go out there and play the best that I can.

I've definitely gotten better, to where everyone can see that I'm not a defensive liability.

Sometimes it happens, especially if you're a shooter. They say that you can't play great defense.

Sometimes you go through some things to find the right situation.

Sometimes it's about finding the right situation at the right time in this league.

Maybe sometimes it can take a player a bit longer to get comfortable and to get to know everyone and exactly what he needs to do.

Even though sometimes you don't get the minutes you want to, you've just got to continue to work hard and know that if you keep playing hard and doing the right things, then eventually things will turn your way.

I appreciate everything that happened in Sacramento. It was character building for me, continuing to go out and play hard. I feel like I progressed as a player.

Eric Gordon is a great scorer.

You want to be on a team where they think you can really help them.

My thing that I can do is score the basketball.

If you play well, hopefully you'll continue to have opportunities and have your minutes grow.

I'm an early riser.
