You can hide from the devil, but he'll always find you.
When you are not practicing, someone else is getting better.
I had a lot of growing up to do. A lot of times, I learned the hard way.
Either you give in, or you fight. That's all I know, being where I'm from. You fight for what you want. You go after what you want. The only thing I could do was give up or keep fighting for what I wanted in life.
Being in a fishbowl, everybody looking at every move you make, talking about everything you do - it's just a hard life to live.
Everybody is their own person.
You hit road blocks in life, but I'm living proof that you can overcome those road blocks and become what you want to become.
You gotta do what you gotta do. And I had to figure that out, and I used to - I couldn't stand the media, but I realized they have a job. They gotta do what they have to do.
My dream was bigger than anything else. My fight and me wanting to fulfill what I wanted to be in life. That was enough to keep me strong enough to endure anything.
Tattoos, cornrows, headbands, hip-hop. I never meant to start any trends. I got my butt kicked, but if that meant that the guys who came after me could be themselves, then it was worth it.
I wasn't a point guard. I was a killer.
I'm just overwhelmed with the fact that I had a signature shoe. It's actually 'my shoe.'
I failed, got back up. I failed, got back up.
Just because you put a guy in a tuxedo doesn't make him a good guy.
Me and my family are straight. I am blessed. I am alive, man, and I am healthy, and that is the only thing that matters. Me and my family, everybody else, it really doesn't matter because why do you care about somebody talking negative about you if they don't know you?
I'm a father; I'm a friend. I think I've got the biggest heart in the world. A lot of times, that's not a good thing. It's a gift and a curse.
I'm not going to be the same as I was when I've made so many bad mistakes.
Obviously, if I could go back and change anything, I would be a perfect man. And I know there's no perfect man.
I have no regrets on anything. People ask me all the time, 'Do I have any regrets?' I don't have any. If I could back and do it all over, would I change anything? No.
It was just the greatest feeling to see a kid with your shoes on.
