"Bro, just be careful. You can speak how you feel. I'm mad we're 1-6. I hate it. But you're not going to see Kendrick Bourne go out there and not dance. I'm going to dance. That's who I am. My frustration is not changing who I am. I'm not going to fake being mad. That's not who I am."
"Just those little details of 'Keep being who you are. Don't change.' It's about your question to holding each other accountable. Be careful when you say that. Be careful when you post that. It's looking out for your brothers and keep staying together. Things are trying to break us apart and we have to stay together."
