A biography for Willie Cauley-Steinhasn’t been written yet.
“I'm trying to be a franchise player one day.”
“I got a call from my agent; I'm out in the boonies. They're like, 'Where you at? The Warriors are trying to call.' I'm like, 'Hold up! I'm on the lake, and I ain't got no service.' So I had to drive two miles up the road so I could get service and take the call.”
“Normally, I know what I'm doing.”
“I love the game, but I'm not going to play the game for the rest of my life, so you need something else you're good at, another passion. You have to be well-rounded, or else you're going to burn out, and you'll lose passion for what you're doing.”
“I think I just gotta get more selfish.”
“You hoop with a certain expression. That's your art. You've crafted it, so it is your art.”
“The way I dress, the way I talk, the way I do things, what I say on Twitter - it's just like, that's who you are, so don't try to mask who you are just because of what other people think of you.”
“Golf is so mental. It gets my mind right before the game.”
“I play hard all the time and bring a lot of energy to the table.”
“I just want to hoop freely.”
“I'm athletic enough to do guard stuff, so if you were to mold me into having guard moves and footwork in a big's body, that's revolutionizing the game.”
“Wherever I'm needed, I'll go and play. It's that simple.”
“I got some skills I can build on; I can be an all-around player.”
“Being more vocal - I think that's something, as a professional, you have to be really good at. You have to be able to speak your mind.”
“I don't really care about my game, honestly. I just want to win.”
“I wish I still had all of my old schoolwork. I'd just have all the sketches around the schoolwork, and none of the schoolwork done. Just sketches all around. I was always doodling something.”
“Whenever I really want to, I can paint. It kinda just goes by my emotions and feelings at the time.”
“Being a playoff team that got championships, it's going to bring something different out of you.”
“How you balance class and school and other stuff outside, then working out twice a day - as a freshman, you're thrown right into that. It's good for you. It makes you go through adversity.”
“I'm just trying to win something... I play with a chip on my shoulder, a real passion.”
