Athlete

The whole basketball world, it's a fantasy and it's short-lived.

There are ignorant individuals in every city.

You are either with me or you're not.

I grew up in a household where we watched a lot of comedy. It's just something I've always enjoyed.

A lot of the mistakes I made were my fault.

I'm big when it comes to respect. But it's a two-way street, in my eyes.

I just don't go out of my way to impress anybody. You either appreciate me for who I am or you don't. That's just the way it is. I'm comfortable in my own skin.

If you was somewhere walking down the street and somebody says something crazy to you, you're going to react. So just because it's a basketball event doesn't mean those emotions go out the door or us being a human being goes out the door. It's the same thing.

The beginning to correcting all of our mistakes is communication.

I don't like to be proved wrong.

I don't do things to be rewarded. I help people because it's the right thing to do.

God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers.

People don't like when people are straight forward. They like things to be sugar coated. They like to beat around the bush. I'm not that type of person.

I'm a guy that a lot of people look up to. I haven't always handled situations the right way. That's why I have to continue to grow and be a better player, a better leader.

Some of what I get, I deserve; I do some dumb stuff sometimes. But I do not deserve the perception that I have.

Hopefully with my so-called celebrity, I can help open more people's eyes to Epilepsy disorders.

What people don't realize is that this is the entertainment business.

I have my family, my loved ones and they love me for who I am.

Social media is the devil. Absolute devil. Oh, my God. It's the worst thing ever.

If I started smiling all the time, people would say, 'DeMarcus must not care anymore.'
