When it applies to the Olympics and making a decision, I have to claim Australia as my country.
When I'm playing the 1-guard, teams do a great job of just loading up and preparing for my drives and preparing for my three-point shots.
I went to my agent and told them, 'I want to be on another Disney show.'
I do have a chef, but I still go out. Sometimes I can still blend in, and sometimes I get a little bombarded. It's the best of both worlds.
Guys like Josh Gordon need to stay in his sport and mind his own business.
When you're playing against a whole bunch of All-Stars, it's like a video game. There's so much talent on the floor at once.
'Grease' is an awesome movie. I wish they'd make a new one, more for our time. The graphics are terrible when you look back on it.
I don't leave home without my Skullcandy Crushers. I don't leave home without my Bible, without my phone, and without my computer.
One thing that somebody told me is that leadership is a lonely role - some people can do it, and some people can't.
My eventual goal is to win a championship. And before I retire, I just want to win a championship. That's it.
I'm probably one of the most competitive people ever.
I've worked countless hours in the gym, so I feel like I'm already prepared for the game. So when I'm listening to music pregame, it's really just about personal enjoyment.
I can't even give my father a proper gift. Every single Father's Day means so much to me. I'm so close to him. He's my big brother, but also my father.
One game I'm always on is 'NBA Jam.' And 'Bejeweled,' games like that, and 'Temple Run.'
