I was a very quiet kid, had nothing much to say.

I need a coaching job in the NBA. I'm restless and I need money.

Across the board, most NBA teams do not call back. You need a court order just to get a phone call back from these organizations. I'm not a part of their fraternity.

I want to make it clear, I'm not whining, and the Celtics owe me nothing. But having said that, you would think at least I would have a conversation about a coaching job, since that's what I want to do.

I'm not saying Brad Stevens should not be getting praise for the job that he's done, because I feel like he's done an outstanding job. I'm just saying the amount of praise he's getting, you'd think he won a championship or two. They don't give Steve Kerr that much love. Come on.

The one opinion that experience does for you is it keeps you cool, calm, and collected under pressure.

I think experience helps but it's not required to be successful.

You need talent and good coaching to be successful in the NBA.

I was seriously thinking about having a very short basketball career before the trade because of all the losing that I experienced with the Warriors, and being blamed for the Warriors demise.

I can't speak for the Warriors but for me and my career, being traded to the Celtics changed the trajectory of my career.

I exceeded my expectations of longevity in the NBA.

I told myself coming into the league that if I could play for six or seven years, that would have been a great career.

I haven't talked to the press much. That's why I've gotten kind of a bad reputation. They look at me and think I don't give a damn. But I'm not comfortable with the attention.

I use Kung Fu. That really helps my flexibility and coordination.

I basically gave up drinking. Personally, I thought I was drinking too much and, over the long run, it caught up with me.

I don't talk about my private life.

I always feel like you should walk into a room or walk down the street, like you belong. That's the philosophy that I always try to subscribe to.

To be honest my mentor was my mom and dad. I was very blessed and fortunate to have parents like I had.

I was always looking at the ground because I was self-conscious about my height. I had big feet, big hands, and all that.

Shoot, I ain't working for free. You can never have enough money.

I always have room for another ring, unless it's a wedding ring.

You've got to listen to yourself, do what you think is best. Because if you listen to the critics, you might be going in all different directions.

On the West Coast, things are more relaxed, maybe because people have more fun outdoors. In the East, where the weather is not so good, people have to stay indoors. They're very knowledgable fans. This makes you play even harder.

I have a great deal of respect for Coach Fitch. When we won the championship in '81, he was the main reason why we won. We were down and he never let us doubt ourselves.

I've surprised a lot of people, including myself, with my longevity.

My parents always taught me to be humble no matter what the experience, to not think I was better than anyone else.

My father always shied away from attention. Whenever he'd get a compliment, he'd downplay it.

At Golden State, it was basically a guard-oriented offense and it wasn't either around me or in my direction.

Playing with a winner is important.

I've had my share of losing.

Not head coach - Assistant would be very attractive, but I don't think I have the discipline to deal with all the egos and personalities a head coach has to deal with.
