“I was about 14 and I was having a lot of problems with my mom at home,...” — Van Hunt Quote

“I was about 14 and I was having a lot of problems with my mom at home, and she really wanted me to focus on school and basketball. But music was all I wanted to do. I felt out of time and out of step with everyone, because they were all into hip-hop and I was so into Sly Stone and Prince.”

“I don't know very many people who don't yearn to be accepted, maybe except for myself. I'm in a business where I have to be accepted in order to make a living.”

“I can't even think of a greater success than materializing your own thoughts and to just see how people react to them.”

“I felt like I was better at football than I am in basketball.”

“When I get done playing basketball, I'm definitely not going to be a rapper. I'm not going to be an old person who is focused on being a rapper.”

“We'll do anything it takes to win a basketball game.”
