My problem is being brutally honest. People don't like that.

Being a physical specimen doesn't mean you're any good at playing inside. Positioning, using your head, the mental stuff - that's my game. That's what makes a good inside player.

It amuses me that just because I'm white and always looked skinny, I'm supposed to be unphysical, soft, not tough.

How many people get to say a '30 for 30' is being made about them?

When you're being interviewed every day, and you're tired, you can make mistakes and say the wrong things, especially when you're young. When you're young, you don't realize everything, and you're a little naive.

I'm not gonna say I'm the greatest guy, but the reason I don't hate is I know what it feels like to be hated. So I always pull for Tom Brady.

All I wanted to do was win. People have to remember that when I came to Duke, they'd started to get a reputation that they can't win the big game. We were aware of that, and we hated it.

It's not good to be a hater.

Part of me would like for not all the Kentucky, Carolina, and Connecticut fans to despise me, but another part of me realizes that's not important.

I pursued to have my team win as much as we could, and it doesn't happen without great teammates.

I love muskie fishing in the summer time.

I'm up in Minneapolis all the time. I love being up there.
