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

When I was in school, my favorite subject was math. I took algebra and calculus. At an early age I grasped it and understood it quickly. I just enjoyed breaking the codes and solving problems.

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

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

People in general misunderstand me. I'm very aware of the stereotype that comes with being a basketball player. But I'm well-rounded. I'm cultured. It's funny: When I speak, people are like, "Wow! You can really talk." I'm like, "What did you expect?"

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

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