I've always watched the NBA growing up.

Coming to Beijing, throughout all of what has happened and the success I have gained, I look at it as I was just fortunate and blessed.

My favorite point guard, growing up, was Magic Johnson. The reason why I say that is he was a winner, and he did everything in his power to make his teammates better. That's what the game is all about as a point guard.

I learned to treat everybody with respect. I've learned to be focused, be a professional person, the kind who is always an honor to be around.

God is not upset that Gandhi was not a Christian, because God is not a Christian! All of God's children and their different faiths help us to realize the immensity of God.

This is the kingdom of God on the earth. Because of that, it has a power beyond any other endeavor in which humans can engage. That power depends on the faith of those called to serve in it.

My mama told me in college, 'I love you, and you're God's child, but natural beauty will only take you so far.'

My dad was a poet. He saw the world through unique glasses, with simplicity, spirituality, and humor.
