everyday want young
I'm still young and everyday I want to learn more. I feel I am beginning to find myself.
winning years want
You can never have enough trophies. If there were ten to be won a year I'd want to win them all! That's not being greedy, it's just a natural thing.
dad done want
My dad always taught me to never be satisfied, to want more and know that what is done is done.
giving the-end-of-the-day want
At the end of the day, you either want or you don't want to know about it. It's a mercy thing - you have to give back. However you do it, you have to give something back. You have to.
hard-work people want
There are many things I want, and the only way I will get them is to keep my head down, listen to the right people and work hard
love
I am more than proud to be European. I love Europe, I love France, but I have an American mentality, and I don't know why. The way I see things, the way I talk, I'm the kind of person who, if I want to say something, I will say it - sometimes in Europe, it's not always what you need to do.
followed huge since tony
I've followed the NBA religiously since I was a kid, and now because of my boy Tony Parker, I'm a huge Spurs fan.
arrive sure takes wear
That is something that I always want to do when I arrive somewhere is to know about the culture of the country, about the club and make sure I know what it takes to wear the jersey.
dad drawn naturally
To say that my dad pushed me is an understatement. I was never naturally drawn to football.
people
So few people recognize me, I can do what anyone does.
easy guys lose love mind players scoring sometime
The thing is, don't get me wrong, I still love scoring and I hate to lose but now I see myself more as making players play better. Sometime you do what you have to do and you have to perform, that is still there, but in my mind I am thinking about making the guys around me play better and that is never an easy thing to do.
good hard people respect since visiting worked york
I've always loved New York; I've been visiting New York since 1996. People don't look at you like, 'What are you doing? What are you wearing?' There is also that thing that when people know that you have worked hard to get something, people have that respect for that here. You worked hard - good for you.
handy home moment
I always have a football handy at home, and I'll play with it. Sometimes it'll get on my wife's nerves. But the moment I've got a ball at my feet, I'm happy.
amazing french-athlete
So when I go home, sometimes, even when I had an amazing game, I always think about what I missed.
