I don't feel like basketball is the only way to make a living.

Fatherhood will put a man through a lot, but it's a tremendous job, the best in the world - even better than playing basketball.

You're at your best, when you're focused and you're serious and passionate about what you do, but at the same time you can relax and have fun and be confident.

The source of my power and strength is God, and I know it, without a shadow of a doubt.

I feel like I'm capable of doing so many things to help people around the country and the world.

Nothing means more to me than helping my team win.

I've discovered new parts of my manhood, places I couldn't get to without loving someone else unconditionally and putting others before myself.

Life for me outweighs the game of basketball.

I am not a passenger in anything I do. I am and always will be a leader.

You have to work hard at things.

With my responsibilities comes having to manage my time more efficiently.

Sometimes the best solution is to stop trying to change people.

I dislike people who get out of things unscraped. No scars, no scratches. Agnosceo veteris vestigia flamme. Refined through a scar.

She would wonder what had hurt her when she found her face wet with tears, and then would wonder how she could have been hurt without knowing it.

I reads every chance I can gets.

I don't wish to inhabit the human world under false pretences.

It was important, I know, for my father as a product of his times not to be vulnerable, so he chose, and I can't say that I blame him, to live his life rather than create it.

There is a certain pleasure in weeping; grief finds in tears both a satisfaction and a cure.

The unprepared speaker has a right to be afraid.
