As a player all you can do is play within yourself, even in the context of a team sport.

To be candid with you, free agency hurts all sports. It's great for athletes making an enormous amount of money. But to say it helps the sports, I don't believe that.

You can't get much done in life if you only work on the days when you feel good.

Don't let talent get in way of team performance. Great players do what's outstanding for team, not what makes them stand out

Confidence is a lot of this game or any game. If you don't think you can, you won't.

I've seen a lot in my life. I've seen a lot of winning. I've seen a lot of testing times. I think when you're tested, you really find out what you're made of.

To have harmony on a team, you need a coach who can get inside the head of every player and get them all pulling in one direction.

Anything can happen with hard work and dedication

When it's time for me to walk away from something, I walk away from it. My mind, my body, my conscience tell me that enough is enough.

When time is running out and the score is close, most players are thinking, I don't want to be the one to lose the game, but I'm thinking, What do I have to do to win?

I'm just ultracompetitive. I will be till they put me in the grave.

Just remember that the only question in a house is who is to rule. The rest is only dancing around that, trying not to look it in the eye.

Smile at the Fates and you will feel less their Slave.

Life: sometimes the man on the saddle, sometimes the saddle on the man.

After so many cases of terror attacks related to Islamic militancy remaining unresolved in the last few years, the government has no moral authority to stay in power.

Stupidity can win for a moment, but it can never really succeed because the nature of humans is to seek freedom. Rulers can delay that freedom, but they cannot stop it.

My people are Americans. My time is today.

It was a titanic effort.

I've never understood why people said 'in your own words.' Who else's words would I use?

I would say the universe has a purpose. It's not there just somehow by chance.
