On his advice to UCLA:
"Just try to get better every day. Don't look at the big picture. We all know what the overall goal is. But if you try to do the best you can every day, it all piles up."

On playing for the Bruins:
"Being there puts the pressure on you and forces you to step up to the plate. You put that jersey on, you have those four letters across your chest, you don't want to let that tradition down. That prestigious university deserves to be at a certain level, especially on the basketball court."
