Me and Mike, we've been friends for a long time. He and Antoine (Walker) basically took me under their wing when I first got in the league. Basically he said he's been watching me and I've really been playing well. He's just trying to keep me positive about the situation.
basically easy guys learning looking point shots spread start starts
They told me, 'Just spread it up anyway. I'm looking at them, going, 'Spread it up anyway?' ... So I start doing that, and it starts working for me. Guys scrambling around and getting easy shots -- that's basically learning to be a point guard.

They're just learning everything on scout team and looking at a card and going through the plays. But now we can evaluate them and make a decision at the end (of spring training), of where basically they fit in with the team and what their opportunities are.

This country has made some progress in race relations, but there is still room for improvement. Basically we just need to realize that are some differences among the races, but that's OK. We should try to understand people and accept their differences. You can't hate anyone for being different.
attach basically body cord developed easy home navy seal system travel weight wrap
I do this system called TRX. It was developed by a Navy SEAL and is basically a simple cord that you can wrap around something anywhere, anytime, and you use your body weight as resistance. We installed one in our home gym, but you can also attach it to a tree. It's very easy to travel with.
conscious weirdest
When I'm writing, it's the weirdest thing: it's not even a conscious process. I'm not even thinking when I write, and then all of a sudden, I'll have a song that makes me feel so much better than I did before.

My voice has always been kind of distinct - even when I was four years old, my mom told me that people would be like, 'Why does your daughter always sound like a chain smoker?' I've always had this deep, raspy voice.
almost centered discovered felt gravity helps music mute pounds therapy
Music is almost like a therapy for me. It helps keep me centered and think straight. Before I discovered it, I was walking around, and it felt like there were 25 extra pounds of gravity on my shoulders. It's like you're mute or something.
hard love
It's that beautiful thing to love your weaknesses, your insecurities, and then put them all on blast. That's why I started writing, and that's why it was so hard to do it in public.
amazing definitely inspiring people
It's so inspiring to be around other people who have ideas you haven't thought of, and all of a sudden you're like, 'Wow! That's so amazing!' I definitely want everything I do to just get better and better.
beasts crazy embrace feminine matter men mind music powerful theme throughout whether
It's a big theme throughout my music to just embrace everything about your own mind and to always feel powerful. It's not just a feminine thing, but for men, too, whether they feel weak, or strong or crazy or reclusive. I want everyone to feel powerful no matter what little beasts they have in their head.
darker depressed grey love mom time
I love grey. My mom told me that when I was younger, I would get mildly depressed when it was grey all the time. I'd be darker when it was dark out. But as an adult, I really love it.
dressing everyday hand love music performance shows style
I love fashion. I like dressing how I feel, and my music shows how I feel - they go hand in hand. My performance style is pretty much the same as my everyday style.
