I sacrificed six years in L.A. I did my job out here. I made contacts and did the work I had to do.
My business is to come out here and play football.
I really respect Telugu cinema and the fact that people out here have a totally different style of working and are at par with Bollywood. Sometimes, they beat Bollywood with the kind of films they make.
I was mesmerised by South cinema and the kind of work is done out here.
When I was a child, I saw in the news that a person from Belitung had done well in sports in Jakarta, and I just couldn't imagine that it was possible for someone from here to become famous, and it's still very isolated out here.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. My job is to come out here and hoop, and that's what I'm going to do.
We're out here playing a game and I'm not one to take it like super, super serious.
When you walk out here with the Bobcats logo, stand for something. Not wearing your hat to the back, sagging jeans. Be a professional, that's how I present myself to them.
The caddies are so overlooked out here, and I remember the tough times I had making ends meet when I used to carry the bag.
A lot of guys out here are very serious, and God bless them, that's their personality. It's not a sin to be business-like.
