I know the Boston fans are all about their basketball.

I don't really care about no hype.

I grew up at a park, and everybody was always for themselves. I was the smallest, so I had to find a way to get my own rebounds, and it always translated throughout my whole career.

I give 110 percent, and that's in practice and every game and everything.

In college, the whole two years, I never sat out a practice or a game. So your body kind of wears down.

I always tell myself every day, I'm just as good as anybody.

In your own country, it's easy to make assumptions about people based on accents, about areas based on architecture.

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.

I am shocked by the easy attitude of many in the media towards disclosing our Nation's secrets.

Tommie Aaron taught me how to have a good attitude, to be easy going and not get uptight.

It can be easy to buy into anything. I would lose focus if I went with that attitude of wanting to be famous.

First, I was so dazzled and besotted by India. People said the poverty was biblical, and I'm afraid that was my attitude, too. It's terribly easy to get used to someone else's poverty if you're living a middle-class life in it. But after a while, I saw it wasn't possible to accept it, and I also didn't want to.
