My mother always made me do ball-handling and all that because she was like, 'What if you stop growing?'

I grew up in Flint, Michigan so I'm used to broken promises so I don't look forward to anything. I look forward to the now. I don't even like planning trips more than a week ahead because you don't know how you're going to feel a week from now.

My career was dwindling down and I got to be in Golden State for two years and show I still have it.

I feel like in the course of my career, I've been in the iPhone era and the dilution of the big man.

But I have been interested in dreams, really since I was a kid. I have always been fascinated by the idea that your mind, when you are asleep, can create a world in a dream and you are perceiving it as though it really existed.

I just kind of wake up with a new idea and new dreams every day, and I follow that dream, as they say.

I believe in an India of pluralism and diversity, not of religious bigotry and caste politics. I believe in an India that is secure in itself and confident of its place in the world, an India that is a proud example of tolerance, freedom and hope for the downtrodden.

I take inspiration from everything around me, also relationships and friends. And the inside of my crazy head.
