I've surrendered that to God. I'm not in a battle with what everybody else thinks anymore.

All these people, all these things came into my life, and they're all blessings from God. And now that I look back, I realize that these are His fingerprints all over my story.

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.

Sometimes you come up against a mountain and you end up making the mountain seem bigger than God.

You don't get better if you win all the time. You look at yourself more when you lose.

My identity is in Christ, not in basketball.

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

I have worked out with the Thunder, Lakers, Knicks, Grizzlies, Spurs, and a few others before the draft. I have worked out primarily against shorter and supposedly faster players in these workouts.

Well, I'm not here to live up to anyone else's expectations-I'm here to live up to mine.

For me, when I get knocked down, I really try to get back up and go at it again. I don't like to give up.

If you look back at my story, it doesn’t matter where you look, but God’s fingerprints are all over the place.

As you think, so you are.

The space where I write is in my head, I suppose.

There is something about a closet that makes a skeleton terribly restless.

I write out of instinct.

Everybody has fallen down or been disappointed in love. Where you truly shine is when you get back up. Use it as a learning experience and believe in all of the possibilities.

Whats the point of fitting in, when we were meant to stand out?

I had no more need of God than He had of me, and if there were one, I often said to myself, I would meet Him calmly and spit in His face.

If I am dissatisfied, it's simply because good photos are few and far between. A good photo is a miracle.

Probably the label 'Jesus freak' is fine with me. Because I know who I am.
