“I’m scared of needles.”

When I first got into the league, I tried to fit in. Now I don’t care.

I think the main thing for kids is to have them believe in themselves.

Man, anytime the ball goes through the basket. It doesn’t matter if it’s a jumper or a drive.

I think the biggest thing I’ve learned is to not really worry what people will say or think about what you wear.

I wanted to be a football player. Football is a sport that I love, but the more I started playing basketball, the more I started dreaming of playing in the NBA.

I’m on a team with LeBron James and Chris Bosh, and they both dress well. It gets competitive. If I don’t bring my A game, they’re going to outshine me.

Over my career, I’ve had to adjust my game.

People don’t need to necessarily see me in the jersey to understand who I am and what message I’m trying to get across with the things that I’m marketing.

I think you really have to become a parent to understand what you will endure to be there for your kids.

Unless you sit down and talk to your dad and say, ‘Why weren’t you there?’ and he says, ‘I’m going to really tell you the truth,’ then you won’t know.

Wherever you go, things change you. I mean, obviously moving to Miami and becoming part of the NBA has given me a different perspective on style than I had when I lived in Chicago or Milwaukee.

As long as you put on a jersey, no matter what kind of jersey it is, as long as you’re supporting the game of basketball, I enjoy it.

Yes, it’s true – I love the roar of the crowd. When the fans are with you, their voices come together in a big booming rush of sound that you can actually feel in your body – almost like a wave that lifts you and carries you past your own limits.

I’m just showing my personality in my clothing.

When you have kids, they are the consistent things in your life. They don’t change no matter what’s going on. They love you. They are more honest than anybody will be.

My job, my whole life, I’ve always had that kind of doubter, people have always doubted me. And I don’t know how I would succeed without it. So I welcome it, and it gives me a challenge, and I will see if I can live up to my challenge.

The outlines of the needed psychology of becoming can be discovered by looking within ourselves; for it is knowledge of our own uniqueness that supplies the first, and probably the best, hints for acquiring orderly knowledge of others.

If you take a needle and stick her in the booty and take a needle and stick me in the booty, we’re both going to say ouch.

The smell of pine needles, spruce and the smell of a Christmas tree – those to me, are the scents of the holidays.

I didn’t go for the needle at all. I never cared for drugs, because I saw what they did to most people. I thought that was the end of the road.

Whether it’s in a phrase like “going over like a lead balloon” or “a needle in a haystack,” or tackling movie myths or even a genre, like MacGyver or James Bond

The magnetic needle always points to the north, and hence it is that sailing vessel does not lose her direction.

If you are trying to thread a needle, you will not succeed if the thread has even a slight fiber sticking out.

Avoid all needle drugs, the only dope worth shooting is Richard Nixon.
