I always wanted to make a song like ‘Why’ even before my second album. It was just something I always had in my mind. But when I got the beat from Havoc, it was like the perfect beat, I felt… I wanted to get some questions I thought everybody… felt like ‘why?’ to.

I like to drive hard, and obviously when you get to this level, especially running for points – you’ve got to make sure when you have a car that can run 10th, that you run 10th with it. You can’t sit here and try to make it go from 10th to a win and end up 30th. That’s just something I had to figure out.

As I get older the stars have gone from my eyes more, and I see that life is just something that has to be lived with, that it’s better not to struggle.

My parents worked very hard for everything that they got. Their parents worked hard.

I don’t have synesthesia, but I think when music is really intense, it’s almost like it’s more than just hearing.

I like New York. I like Philly. I like San Fran. I like when people are stoked. But Chicago’s a real music town, and they’re really good to us there.

One of the biggest misconceptions is that players care about transfer fees. For a player, they do not care at all. They do not care if they move clubs for one million, 10 million, or 100 million Euros. That is just something a player leaves to his agent and the clubs.
I think I’m always writing, and I’m always working, and I’m always trying to be creative. It’s just something that I do all the time. I watch TV, and I’ll play guitar.

When I’m on the court, I feel at peace, really. It feels like my home. I’m always thinking of something creative to do, like trick shots or something like that. It’s just something about the basketball court that touches me; it makes me feel like nothing is wrong on the court.
I like contemporary American literature and I like biographies and I like jazz and I like baseball and I like writers who write about the human condition and sci-fi is just something that I happened into.

I remember spending an entire year on the computer, looking for ‘adaptive snowboarders’ or ‘snowboard legs’ or ‘adaptive snowboard schools’ or just something that I could connect to. I already knew how to snowboard – I just needed to find the right legs.
