If I don't believe it, then they don't need me on the court. I've just got to believe that in my heart.

You have to go through good times and bad times to get where you're trying to go.

I don't want to be another Jordan, Magic, or Isiah. When my career is over, I want to be able to look in the mirror and say 'I did it my way'.

I'd rather have more heart than talent any day.

I play every game like it's my last game. All that matters is that you go out there and play every game as if it was your last.

I'm not perfect. But I am trying every day to concentrate on being better.

A jump shot can get you a shoe deal, a big house, a supermodel, fancy cars, a bunch of yes men, a Swiss bank account. But none of these things can get you a jump shot

I'm basically a writer of ideas, and the English aren't interested in ideas. The English, I'm afraid, are totally brainless.

Rich men are resolved to be astonished at nothing. When they see a masterpiece, they must needs at one glance recognize some flaw to dispense them from admiration, a vulgar emotion.

I try not to remember the life that I didn’t want to lose but lost and have to remember

I'm not the sort of person who fears failure.

Many people think they have religion when they are troubled with dyspepsia.

It matters not where you live, or what rank of life you hold, the evil or the blessing will reach you all.
