I want to raise a family and have a couple of small Dirks running around. But it will not be easy to win my heart.
You always want to improve, learn from the veterans on the team.
I came into this league when I was 20, and I didn't know if I was going to make it.
I understand you've got to go through tough times to get better.
I was never a great screen and roller, obviously.
I think different guys have different priorities. For me, it was always important to be in one spot, one city.
I was never the most confident man in the world.
I want to see myself as a student. Keep learning, keep improving, keep your eyes and ears open.
I love watching Steph Curry. When he's hot, every time he gets it, I'm like, 'Shoot!'
When the media's around, I try to be careful. I don't want to make a mistake or use bad language, and I have to really concentrate because of the language barrier.
I'm not trying to make a brand out of myself.
I felt, when I was 20, I wasn't quite ready for the physical contact of 82 games. Mentally, it was tough. I forgot what city we were in most of the time. I can't even imagine going through it at 18 or 19.
Corner is the easiest three in basketball.
Top of the key is my shot.
It's fun being around guys that want to work, that want to learn, that want to get better.
Obviously, sometimes in the summer, when you're by yourself in the gym, you lift, you run... it gets hard sometimes. It gets hard sometimes; I'm not going to lie.
I've always made a fool out of myself.
Most of my game is not really based on explosiveness, but I've gotta have a little lift on my jumper.
Over the years, I pride myself on being more than just a spot-up shooter. I've gotta put the ball on the floor. I've got to post up and drive the ball from the perimeter and get to the basket - all the stuff I was actually doing that helped us win the championship.
When you're older and get more experience, the game slows down for you. I know exactly what spot to get to where I can always get my shot off no matter who's guarding me.
