I've been musically inclined since I picked up an instrument in the fourth grade. I just really appreciate music. I love to listen to it; I love to sing. I wouldn't consider myself, like, a natural singer. I just developed it over time, honestly, just listening. I'm a great listener to music.
Directors tell me what to do, and I kind of just put my own twist to it, just to get inside my personality that everybody doesn't really get to see - my off-the-court interests and the way I act. It's just me.
I went to my agent and told them, 'I want to be on another Disney show.'
I do have a chef, but I still go out. Sometimes I can still blend in, and sometimes I get a little bombarded. It's the best of both worlds.
Guys like Josh Gordon need to stay in his sport and mind his own business.
Even during my injury, I had fun because I got to be a regular college kid.
Draft day is a hectic day, especially for draftees and, more or less, for management.
When you're playing against a whole bunch of All-Stars, it's like a video game. There's so much talent on the floor at once.
'Grease' is an awesome movie. I wish they'd make a new one, more for our time. The graphics are terrible when you look back on it.
I don't leave home without my Skullcandy Crushers. I don't leave home without my Bible, without my phone, and without my computer.
I do feel like a Clevelander. Every time, when people ask me, I automatically say, 'My home is Cleveland.'
One thing that somebody told me is that leadership is a lonely role - some people can do it, and some people can't.
My eventual goal is to win a championship. And before I retire, I just want to win a championship. That's it.
I'm probably one of the most competitive people ever.
