I am always playing hard trying to win. Just knowing that at one time I was once that kid that looked up to NBA players and NFL players. Today these kids look up me.

My mission is to kill; whether it's the Heat, whether it's the Lakers. Hopefully both. That's my mission, and that's what I'm here to do.

Every time I step on the court I want to be up there with the best.

I've won at every level.

To be one of the special ones, you've got to want to take that shot-you've also got to be willing to fail, learn from it, come back and take that shot again.

My idol, Gary Payton, played 19 years. I definitely want to try to reach that.

If you can take pride in what you're doing on defense, it's going to be pretty hard for that offensive opponent to go by you or make a shot over you.

You've got to love the game and the game will love you back.

In high school, I was just a guy who ran the court and played defense. Now I have the whole package.

Im not impressed by anything the Miami Heat does.

I'm amazed at my progress.

Rainbows earn their brightest colors in the storm.

The writer, his eye on the finish line, never gave enough thought to how to run the race.

Every moment of every day, your mind chooses whether you focus on the angelic or the demonic, on your life’s blessings or your tragedies, on the flashes of insight or the reminders of trouble.

Movies don't make people act a fool. People act a fool because they want to act a fool.

To insure peace of mind ignore the rules and regulations.

Every time a man expects, as he says, his money to work for him, he is expecting other people to work for him.

One of the strangest things about writing well is that it requires two different zones in the brain--rigor and recklessness--simultaneously.

I am as content to die for God's eternal truth on the scaffold as in any other way.

I worry because I care. Gods help me, I know I shouldn't, but I do. So I will always tell you to be careful, because I will always care what happens.

Woe to him, . . . who has no court of appeal against the world's judgment.
