I like fats. I think fat is important. I think there is a reason we have it. Obviously it's part of our dietary makeup, so I don't avoid it.

I don't avoid carbs. I don't avoid protein. I think it's just, again, about balance and finding what works for you and your body. For me, having a higher protein, higher carbohydrate, and middle-of-the-road fat count usually gets the job done as far as my energy needs and for my physique.

I think it's important to have some documentation of the past.

I think it's possible to be multi-rooted, rather like a banyan tree, without being deracinated.

Voting is completely important. People in America think democracy is a given. I think of it as an ecosystem, and what gets in the way of it is politicians and apathy.

I think basketball IQ, work ethic, competitiveness are probably the most important things in a basketball player.
