“But, hey I did everything the right way and earned my spot in this game, nothing was given to me.”

Every challenge you put in front of me, I’ve handled it, dismantled it – ate them, dropped them off in the bathroom and flushed them away.

They asked me when I was out there, ‘Why do you want to be traded?’ I said me staying here is like divorcing my wife and marrying someone who looks like me. That’s backwards, man.

Pluto is not a planet, but I am.

Everything happens for a reason.

Do a lot of stuff. But always do things the right way. Went to the police academy to become a police officer.

I don’t believe in pressure. Pressure is when you don’t know where your next meal is coming from.

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.

Everything will change when your desire to move on exceeds your desire to hold on.

What I am very disturbed about is this trend of everything happening faster and faster and faster and there being more and more general noise in the world, and less and less time for quiet reflection on who we are, and where we’re going.

A producer has to know all about everything from set-building to costumes to acting.

Not everything is going to be successful. To strive for that is really naive. You just do the best you can do.

I certainly believe there are forces bigger than ourselves, and that we should be searching, individually, for meaning in our lives. But I don’t believe there’s a supreme being, an intelligence that created everything.

I grew up with nothing, so whenever I got to where I could have something I felt like I needed to have everything I couldn’t have when I was young.

Everything I have ever written has been in the same chair, in the same room.

Romeo is the most misunderstood character in literature, I think. He’s hardcore to play because he’s displaying the characteristics of Hamlet at the beginning, and, well, then everything else happens.
