“I know how to turn the bad into good always.”

I’m a very quotatious person.

Yeah, D-Wade called me up last night and said that he saw some film of me in high school and thinks that my form then was better and that I should shoot like that.

I ate too many Frosted Flakes. I don’t remember what I said last night.

I told him I’d think about it and then my pops called and said something like that so I decided to revert back and then.

You guys make the rules up, so a foul is a foul. It doesn’t matter if a guy is bigger and stronger. It’s not my fault I ate my Frosted Flakes when I was little, and you ate Wheaties.

That was a foul, young lady. You know that was a foul. Don’t ask dumb questions.

I really get motivated when I have doubters.

I think I’m the only player who looks at each and every center and says to myself, ‘That’s barbecued chicken down there.’

I respect order and it really gave me the discipline to be a leader and not a follower. It also helped me stay out of trouble.

We want to win. We want to win big. We want to win the whole thing.

Everybody is not going to like it, but I don’t care if they like or not. I’m Bush, so if they don’t like it resign.

This is a guy who they would have secret meetings about to change the rules. So, that’s going to be my legacy: the most dominant player ever.

I endorse only products I actually use. Like Wheaties keeps offering me money, but I don’t eat Wheaties, so I can’t do it. Now, if Rice Krispies or Frosted Flakes offered me a deal, I’d take it right away. Apple Jacks, I’d be on the box in a heartbeat. Apple Shaqs. Yeah.

I don’t think anything of Laura Frank. You heard me – Laura Frank. Not Lawrence. Laura… It’s not that I blame him, I just wish he’d go to a manly tactic and just fight me. Don’t whine. When he whines, that’s when I change his name of Lawrence Frank.

Once you learn how to do something, you don’t lose it. Unless you die.

They shot the ball well early. What comes out of the microwave hot doesn’t always stay hot. I know, because I eat bagels in the morning.

I think people deny themselves by putting themselves into categories.

You don’t put your life into your books, you find it there.

TV and film taught me to think cinematically. Teaching others to edit, for example, provides a great deal of insight into the millions of ways in which given elements can be put together to tell a story.

It’s so funny when people who are not used to making movies get into it. You just can’t believe how insufferably boring it is.

Since fame is an illusion and death is in our future all we have is the next moment before we are swallowed into oblivion.

Adding explanation to the descriptive passages of a screenplay is the most dangerous trap you can fall into.

We make a contract within ourselves as actors or directors or writers about how much of ourselves we let into projects.

Just go into the room, sit in the centre of the room, open the doors and windows, and see who comes to visit.
