Guys are coming into the league a little more mature when they take the three or four years in college.

Starting you automatically gets into your rhythm faster. Coming off the bench, you're colder; it can be harder at times.

A lot of scouts and people are enamored with athleticism and youth. So they take that any day over mature, high-quality basketball players.

When you're running next to a guy who's about to lay it up in transition, you just get out of the way because you know Giannis is coming to block it.

It's a competitive business, and everybody wants to be the best. And when there's a new guy coming in, and there's buzz about him, 'Oh, he was a pro football player,' you instantly have people that don't like you because they're afraid you're going to take their spot.

Growing up, I didn't feel cool; I didn't fit into any crowd.

I'd never really considered film. If I'd thought about film more growing up, I probably would have changed my name. I had no concept of my name in lights.

Youth, however, can afford to enjoy even its melancholy; for the ultimate fact of which that melancholy is a prophecy is a long way off.
