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.
I've stuck by being modest, honest and humble, because I think you'll get more appreciated that way and we all want to be appreciated in this world.
The locker room has to be right. We've got to be patient to build this team.
You've got to respect the game and you've got to respect what the people that have played have done for the game.
I love football. I'll watch the NFL before I watch any NBA.
I think that work has been the key for me. Just like they say shooting will become easy if you just keep working at it, well, I love the dribble game-that brings excitement to the game.
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.
