I know I can block shots and I've got to do it. That's part of my job as a big.
I try to do a good job of contesting shots and blocking shots and altering shots, but I've got to do a better job of doing more.
I've been learning when to block shots against who I'm playing. I'm not just going to leave a shooter to go block shots.
It's my job to make shots. But the big shift is that I understand it's actually my job to take these shots.
When you play guard, you're not going to block a lot of shots. Inside, you're going to block shots.
Most people don't know I like to block shots. I'm going to be a big point guard out there. So just come in and prove myself. Just show why I belong on this stage.
In the past years, I got in a lot of foul trouble because I was out of position, or because I was just too aggressive. I was trying to block too many shots. It's really just learning when to take a chance at blocking shots, and to get to spots early.
Being out there, I know how to play the game and know my spots. Just get rebounds, block shots, defend.
Now what Clan you know with lines this ill? Bust shots at Big Ben, like we got time to kill.
I was surrounded by talented people. I always remember Mrs. Carmel Snow, saying to me, "You know, Polly, if one person thinks they're a big star, then we're all stars. You just go out there and always do your best. And always have time to see any designer - no matter how big or how small, have time to see them. You don't have to just see the big shots. You never know what's coming around the corner and the talent that is going to be important. That is your job."
I've hit a lot of big shots and missed a lot of big shots, and I'll continue to shoot them.
Every time I sit down and write I got to put something conscious in there. It's like I got a job now. They say that for those that know you got to deal in equality. If you know and you don't speak on it and don't apply it, it's like you're the worst hypocrite. I feel I got a job to do, being that I study so much and I believe in Allah like I do, I feel like I got to spread the word.
Big shots are only little shots who keep shooting.
I'm always trying to block shots.
When you're going through a game and you miss your first couple, you definitely put a little bit of added pressure on yourself. And there is that sense of frustration. You got to block it out and realize that the whole goal of what I'm trying to do is just get open shots.
Acting was absolutely my first focus. I graduated high school in L.A., and two weeks afterwards, I moved to New York City, and I got a job in a mail room, and I got an agent, doing what actors do, with head shots and all the rest of it.
I block shots and stay out the way.
