JaVale McGee Quotes

I always live in multiple places. I'm never in the same city for seven days.

I kinda grew up in different places. I was just from everywhere.

When I was growing up, I never felt that I belonged anywhere because we never lived in a house for more than three months. That's all I knew, and that's why I don't really belong anywhere.

In the United States a man builds a house to spend his latter years in it and he sells it before the roof is on. He plants a garden and lets [rents] it just as the trees are coming into bearing. He brings a field into tillage and leaves other men to gather the crops. He embraces a profession and gives it up. He settles in a place which he soon afterward leaves to carry his changeable longings elsewhere. If his private affairs leave him any leisure he instantly plunges into the vortex of politics and if at the end of a year of unremitting labour he finds he has a few days' vacation, his eager curiosity whirls him over the vast extent of the United States, and he will travel fifteen hundred miles in a few days to shake off his happiness.

I'm kind of addicted to moving.

My family moved a lot as a kid. We started in Colorado, where I lived for five years. We moved to Chicago for two years, to San Francisco for one year, Connecticut for seven, Oregon for a couple years, and then I went to school. So I was always moving, I'm still always moving.

I am a rolling stone, never in one place for very long.

I don't really live anywhere.

As someone who works and travels as much, you could feel... A bit rootless?

I basically live out of my truck - I mean from place to place. I feel more at home in my truck than just about anywhere, which is a sad thing to say, but it's true.

I feel like I've always wanted to live in one place and stay in one place, but I always end up choosing things that make me travel.

For many years, I didn't have a home.

By the time I was seven, my mother and I had moved 13 times.

I actually didn't think there was that many people out there who knew what it's like to not really have a home or have that home in one place.

I didn't have just one place where I could say, 'That's my home.'

By the time I was three years old, I'd lived at 10 different addresses in six different countries.

People move around so much in the world, things get lost.

I've never really been settled. I don't think I've ever known what it was like to be a person that was used to sitting still. I think it's given me the ability to detach from any situation.

I live wherever I happen to be.

I've never spent a whole year in one place without leaving.

I'm a vagabond. I have a suitcase that is ready to go at a moment's notice. The thought of being in one place for a long time, or playing one character for a long time, is terrifying for me.

We've never been your typical family. We've moved a lot.
