I'm not playing to prove anything to anybody.

If I had a day to myself I would just play video games with my brothers.

I'm not playing for other people; if I start thinking in those terms I would put too much pressure on myself. I play basketball because that is what I love to do.

I want to be a representative and be a role model for the Asian American community.

Failure for me, is not giving myself the best chance to succeed.
