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

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.

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.

I'm amazed at my progress.

For me, Art is the restoration of order. It may discuss all sort of terrible things, but there must be satisfaction at the end. A little bit of hunger, but also satisfaction.

The Christian life doesn't work because we are such great followers. It works because Christ is such a great Leader.

I’ll work my way from irony to sincerity in the sinking city, a would-be Whitman of the vulnerable grid.

If you want to be the best, find out what the top people do & do it yourself.

You see, at the beginning we weren't fighters. We weren't yellers or throwers, even if we eventually came to be. It would take time and much deeper wounds for us to get to that point.

Sometimes I wish I was a beautiful machine so I could resist your kiss and not cry when you're mean.

There are certain things people always bring up with me. The accident. The drugs. And how tight my pants were.

Life is a beautiful struggle.

The Arab world had a big problem of frankly venal elites. That is why these revolutions happen, because people didn't think the opportunities were being shared fairly.

I can remember when pants were pants. You wore them for twenty years, then you cut them down for pan scrubs. Or quilts.
