Obviously, you want to get the best deal possible for yourself, but teams just don't want to spend that money for fear of being in the luxury tax.

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.

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.

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.

Without compassion, you will never truly connect with another human being.

All paths lead me to you.

I get what it's like to want something, but to try and force yourself to really believe that you don't.

It's much easier to wear your pain on the outside.

I suppose I had always been an unconscious suffragist. With my temperament and my surroundings, I could scarcely have been otherwise.

My go-to default is to try to be nice, which I feel does less harm in the long run than trying to be, say, assertive. If I am nice and maybe too passive, I find that easier to live with.

Creativity is the process that gives life to a new product.

Everybody has this idea: You have children, and your entire life is complete. That's how I imagine it. I imagine I'll have children and then my whole life will just seem complete.

Enjoyment of life generally includes being socially connected, having fun, and feeling a sense of purpose.

Sanctification makes us pure in heart.
