I like playing against LeBron more than anybody else in the league. He brings out the best in me, and I bring out the best in him.
I'm going forward with my plans for life. I'm looking at things not only basketball-wise, but personal-wise.
I'm just a kid in a candy store right now, trying to have fun. I'm getting a chance to show my ability and my talent.
You have to remember that you only want to use your dunks at the right time. If you do it at the right time, you can wake up everybody and change the whole momentum of the game. It can get the crowd up, get your teammates up. It can wake up yourself, too, if you're not shooting well.
Being a leader is one thing I've never felt comfortable with. It's not my nature.
When I got my first check I was thinking my mother and father didn't make this probably in their lifetime. It's real amazing that some of us are just blessed.
I'm a firm believer in God and I don't think he'd want me acting a certain way.
My name is very important to me. I'm representing the Wade name. I've got the name on the back of my jersey when I play. I walk around with that name. That's my family name, the name my son will grow up with. So it's very important to me to keep the level of maturity that I have.
I realize that you have to be careful sometimes what you wish for.
Immediately after games, we're talking about what we need to do for the next game. We're not satisfied in the moment that we're in.
We're focusing on what we need to do. The only attention we're thinking about is giving each other the attention that we need as a team, and making sure that everyone in here knows how they important they are to our success.
People are still trying to figure out who I am. Most people just say I play the game the right way.
We live in the moment. We're not thinking about the future right now. We're not thinking about the past, you know. We're living in this moment right here and it's a sweet moment to live in.
The biggest thing is to make sure that when something comes out about you that is false that you prove it's not true.
