Courage

No matter what anybody says, nobody can intimidate me.

You have to be willing to take hits, you'll get knocked down many times, get up just as many.

I'm comfortable with my back against the wall, that's when I play my best.

If you want to be the best, you have to do things other people aren't willing to do.

Life will knock us down, but we can choose whether or not to stand back up.

The best fights are the ones we avoid.

Do not let circumstances control you. You change your circumstances.

When people say you can’t, you know you can.

I try to approach life with a calm demeanor. I stay even-keeled and level. Staying aggressive, yet calm, has been a key to my success on and off the court.

The biggest thing is just sticking with it. You never know what can happen, as long as you keep that positive attitude, keep working hard and trying to get better every day.

I believe the universe rewards the courageous, and I’m trying to live my life that way.

It’s not the defeats that define us. It’s what we do with them.

Impossible is just a word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it.

Fear is often just a feeling growing in the shadows of your mind. You just need to bring it into the light to see it for what it really is.

Sometimes you just have to go out there and put it all on the line. Just give it your all.

True champions aren't always the ones that win, but those with the most guts.

I do what's necessary. I'm not out here to make friends.

Sometimes when you get out of your comfort zone, that's when good things happen.

I don't care that much for people who have lived in fear of what the press are going to say about them.

I stand up against hate. I don't care who says anything about me being a ‘social justice warrior.’
