“Whether you like the look or not, that tailcoat is a tough shell, a suit of armour. The posh boy is a hardy species.”

“I think it's disingenuous to believe that being born into a privileged world means you feel like you are having an easy time.”

“I was the family alien. Both my parents are quite creative, but I was... appalling... always putting on little shows. I was rather a shy child, not a natural performer, but there was a performative edge to everything I did.”

“Basketball has given me everything, but it has to be bigger than basketball. That was the first thing that I said to Under Armour, and they were behind it 100 percent. This isn't about a shoe deal.”
