“I'm always thinking about the future and the goals in front of me.”

“I don't drink alcohol at all except for special occasions. I definitely do think that it really takes a toll on your body over time, so it's something that I really try to stay away from.”

“The thing that made me happy is you live to see the next day and you get an opportunity to do it again.”

“I wanted to be positive. I have good sportsmanship. You leave everything on a good note, you just smile and shake hands.”

“But at the end of the day, I'm my own man, regardless of what my little brother does or what he did.”

“Whenever I was done with a scene, I'd go back to my trailer, relax and go over my lines. I'd think, 'I can't wait to get out there.'”

“I was approached by a company in San Francisco called Fantex. I did my due diligence on it. I tried to outweigh the pros and cons. Then I just made a business decision.”

“Putting my teammates first was the best thing I could've done. Once I did that, things started to happen for me. I started to see the game differently. It wasn't about me anymore. It was more about my team.”

“Growing as a man, I had to go through some stuff first. I had to figure this thing out, find out who I was as a player.”

“Life is all about the unexpected.”
