I came into the NBA as a second-round pick, No. 39. I was on a team with a bunch of lottery picks. I didn't have an opportunity to really show what I could do on the offensive end, so I had to find my niche. It came on the defensive end, blocking shots and guarding my man.

You want to try to be yourself with whatever you're doing and put your own flair on it. I think that's a translation between art with a paintbrush and art with a basketball.

The thing about me, I've been on so many teams and I've played so many different roles.

I feel like I'm a decent player.

I came out throughout the whole summer after I was drafted and worked extremely hard.

I do support 'sanctuary cities,' and I would be a firm, non-negotiable 'no' vote on any deliberations that include the possibility of blocking funding for them.

I think all the actors I've worked with knew that I was an actor. Like, I get into the dirt with my actors and we figure out the rhythm of the scene and how it needs to sound and what the blocking is, the way you would with another actor.

If you look at one of the basic underlying tenets of liberty, it's freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom to access of information. If we start sequestering that and blocking it off, you're going to have pockets around the world that are going to become more and more isolated.

Make a list of all the people in your life, and rate them in terms of energy in, energy out. Is there anyone in your life right now who is blocking your love quest?
