You have to be able to accept failure to get better.

The only way for us to be able to get better as a society is love.

The ankle feels fine. It's not 100 percent, so I'm not going to be able to go tonight.

I laugh and joke, but I don't get distracted very easily.

I have short goals - to get better every day, to help my teammates every day - but my only ultimate goal is to win an NBA championship. It's all that matters. I dream about it. I dream about it all the time, how it would look, how it would feel. It would be so amazing.

I never get too high on my stardom or what I can do.
