I look for my opportunities, not trying to go outside of my genuine realm, because leadership has to be genuine and authentic.

I think you need to be intentional at times about your leadership - where you're eating lunch, who you're interacting with, making guys feel like you're interested in what they're doing. If it's authentic, then it's going to be an easy conversation and easy hangout time.

I think, because of the lack of guaranteed contracts in the league, there's hesitancy to speaking your minds at times. But I feel like there could be a movement beginning where guys are feeling a little more comfortable talking about things that are important to them.

I think that, as athletes, sometimes we have the opportunities to make an impact. When it's authentic, I think there's room to share your opinion in an appropriate way.

The poor don't want some small life. They don't want to game the system. They want to contribute, and they want to thrive. But poverty reduces people born for better things.

What is OK is to spend money for productivity. What is not OK is just to light money on fire.

I would like to help out in financial literacy for the Hispanic community and the athletic community.

The financial crisis should not become an excuse to raise taxes, which would only undermine the economic growth required to regain our strength.
