For me, speed isn't anything I ever practiced. It's all in the genes. Plus, my mom gave me a lot of vitamins when I was small.

I love being under pressure. Even the pressure put on me by the media. That is how you outdo yourself.

I want to follow in my father's footsteps, but do it better.

The day when I am satisfied with what I have, will be the day I retire from the sport.

I still have a lot of room for improvement. I need to become a more skilled player.

In France, if you talk to little boys, they know all of the NBA players and not one single Pro A player.

I want to become the first European floor leader to succeed in the NBA. I want to be the standard-bearer and prove we can succeed here.

I don't think I'm boring.

You're going to see ups and downs your whole career.

Getting up at three in the morning to watch Michael Jordan, I never dreamed one day I would be kissing that trophy.

When you win 20 games in a row and then lose four, people ask you, 'What happened?'...That's the beauty of sports.

The replacement of independent bookstores by firms such as Barnes & Noble, Waterstones or Borders superficially provided a wide range of reading, but their policies further limited choice.

I have a really close relationship with God. I have more conversations with God, and it's very therapeutic to me. It helps me through a lot of trials and tribulations.

I think that red polka red dress is just iconic.

It is very difficult also to sacrifice one's suffering. A man will renounce any pleasures you like but he will not give up his suffering.

An Englishman hath three qualities, he can suffer no partner in his love, no stranger to be his friend, nor to be dared by any.

No matter what I have done, no matter how I have failed, no matter how week I have been, no matter how inadequate I am, God has not changed. He has not failed.

If I were to give liberty to the press, my power could not last three days.

When I said Iniesta was the world's best, you laughed. Now you can see I'm right.

When we are not any lengthier capable to alter a predicament, we're challenged to alter ourselves

I'd rather win two or three, lose one, win two or three more. I'm a great believer in things evening out. If you win a whole bunch in a row, somewhere along the line you're going to lose some, too.
