"It comes down to consistency-if you want to be a great shooter, you have to shoot the same way every time."
"Everything I know now . . . the pitfalls, the highs and lows, everything . . . it taught me and made stronger."
"When you work on getting better at something, don't do it half speed"
"I'm always ready to step up and take that shot."
"I've argued this with a lot of people in my life. When people say God blessed me with a beautiful jump shot, it really pisses me off. I tell those people, 'Don't undermine the work I've put in every day.' Not some days. Every day. Ask anyone who has been on a team with me who shoots the most. Go back to Seattle and Milwaukee and ask them. The answer is me -- not because it's a competition, but because that's how I prepare."
