Life is not going to be sweet all the time.

Yeah, that was my best scoreless game ever.

I love getting in the open floor and running.

I liked being a kid. I liked being a student.

I'm just trying to be the best player that I can be.

Eventually, people are going to find out I can play.

Failure either breaks people or it makes them succeed.

There were hard days but I never felt sorry for myself.

My goal is to be able to play wherever my team needs me.

I've modeled my game after Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan.

I can motivate myself fine just by wanting to be my best.

I know how the game is played, and I'm always working on it.

It's all about concentration and repetition. That's all it is.

I know that sacrifices have to be made to play with good teams.

I felt like I was chosen to play basketball when I was younger.

I don't do anything without measuring 10 times and cutting once.

Sometimes you surprise yourself with what you do under pressure.

I vote. People died for our right to vote and I can't let that go.

If you don't see anything wrong with your game, you need to wake up.

If you're not getting better in the summer, you're wasting your time.

I never expected to leave college early-especially after just one year.

I'm a winner. Dwyane's a winner. We're going to bring winning to Miami.

To be honest, politics is so weird. I think it's more heavy than religion.

If you want to be successful, you are going to have to deal with pressure.

You're playing games every two or three nights, so there's no real time off.

I love Miami: great town, always loved it, a great place to play basketball.

I learned how important it is to have a home that's in order - that's peaceful.

Experience has taught me a lot, and I don't want to let that fall by the wayside.

I'm real conscious about money still. That's how I came up and you can't shake that.

Money is not an issue to me. My mother always tells me, money, it comes and it goes.

Just listen to your instincts. Don't talk to someone or start a relationship out of pity.

If you want to win, you have to sacrifice and do what makes the team work most efficiently.

I would really want to teach someone how to function without having to have plays called for you.

I'm my own biggest critic, and the only way I'm going to improve is to see what I was doing wrong.

Micky Arison is a fantastic owner and a great leader, and we've always had a special relationship.

I havent won on my birthday since college, so its good to play hard and get a win by double figures.

I had a turnover and three missed shots down the stretch. I just have to make sure I calm my nerves.

I would want to work with guys that maybe aren't starters, guys that are the fourth or fifth option.

I learned very quickly that the NBA is a very rough place, physically and mentally. There's no mercy.

Everyone talks about success, but what happens before? There's always something you have to overcome.

Leaders set the tone for their peers. Peers look up to them and say, 'They're doing it, so I'm doing it.'

You can't worry about what people say, but... People always harp on athletes being selfish individualists.

If I can't play, there's no reason to go. To watch the game without me in it, is just no point doing that.

My house is going - kids running out, my wife is running in and out - but I like to sit down and have breakfast.

You can't be afraid to get back up and try again, and you really can't do that unless you acknowledge the failure.

I would have to be in a very different place in my life to coach basketball. I'll always work out and be in the gym.

I wouldn't like to make anybody cry, I don't dislike anybody. It doesn't even matter - the opponent is always faceless.

When you're not in the game, you can watch. Certain players have mannerisms, and they do the same things repetitiously.

Schoolwork came kind of natural to me, but when I brought home a grade that wasn't up to par, my parents let me know it.

You don't have to appreciate me - I hope you underestimate me. That way, when I have a good game, it'll hit you even harder.
