"You have to be true to who..." - Quote by Kobe Bryant

“I'm just right down the middle, man, ... It doesn't matter to me. I'd love him (Phil Jackson) as a coach. It doesn't matter to me. If they want him here, he'll be here. If he wants to come, he'll come, he'll coach and we'll go from there.”

“My brain cannot process failure... It WILL not process failure”

“I don't just try to score. The challenge is elevating my teammates to be able to win a championship.”

“Don't listen to people who tell you what to do. Listen people who encourage you to do what's right in your heart.”

“Evaluation by others is not a guide for me.”

“If there's not drama and negativity in my life, all my songs will be really wack and boring or something.”

“You cannot enjoy others until you enjoy yourself because you cannot give to others what you do not have.”

“Being desirable means being comfortable with your own ambiguity. The most ambiguous reality is that we are flesh and spirit at the same time. Within everyone there is light and shadow, good and evil, love and hate. In order to be truthful, you must embrace your total being. A person who exhibits both positive and negative qualities, strengths and weaknesses is not flawed, but complete.”

“You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!”
