I would never, ever desert my child. A lot of my friends didn't have fathers growing up, and they were very upset that their fathers weren't around. I was lucky to have mine around.

More quotes by Dwight Howard
When I'm smiling, I'm supposedly not taking the game seriously. When I'm not smiling, then it's like, He don't care. He's just out there.
Dwight Howard
I'm really thankful to be alive. If you get to know me, I'm a person that's always smiling and always joyful and I've been that way since I was born because of the struggles I went through. I was supposed to be number eight that died so I'm always thankful.
Dwight Howard
But at the end of the day, every star, every person that been iconic, has gone through a time in their lives where it was just bad. Everybody. It just made them better.
Dwight Howard
The biggest thing is always being around people that are going to lift you up and not bring you down. That's why I prayed for God to send me some good friends. He's done that. I don't really have a lot of friends, but the friends I do have are great.
Dwight Howard
That's my job, to motivate people. I can do more, show people more things. That's really why I play basketball. That's my whole purpose of playing basketball.
Dwight Howard
I hated that perception that I didn't work hard, that I really don't love basketball.
Dwight Howard
Rolexes never lose value, so I started getting a couple of them. I like them. Not only do they look good but they work very well.
Dwight Howard
You always have to keep up with the trends. The biggest thing is making your own trend and making your own stamp in the fashion industry. Whatever is going to be your style, make that your style and go from there.
Dwight Howard
In Orlando, I handled a lot of stuff the wrong way.
Dwight Howard
I do a lot of exercises where I'm so tired that I'm not supposed to do the last rep. What that does is it teaches me that no matter how far I am, how hard I've fallen, I'm never out of the fight. I just take that with me every time I'm in the weight room.
Dwight Howard
My team in Orlando was a team full of people who nobody wanted, and I was the leader and I led that team with a smile on my face.
Dwight Howard
I was supposed to be in the NBA. I was supposed to travel the world and make the world a better place.
Dwight Howard
I'm just going to keep working. Spend more days in the gym, as possible. Just trying to get my game up, and just keep playing. And if it's in God's will for me to win, then I'll get it.
Dwight Howard
I've been on the side where you have nothing, and now I'm on the side where anything I want is there for me. When I didn't have the means to do whatever I wanted to do, I still had peace.
Dwight Howard
Coming out of high school, I think it was good for me instead of going to college because college and the NBA are two different things. You can dominate on the college level, but the NBA is a whole different story. The dudes that do the best are the ones who work hard.
Dwight Howard
People say you don't need a father to be successful. I take offense to that.
Dwight Howard
Growing up, I played about every sport imaginable except soccer and hockey. I've always had a passion for basketball. I remember actually playing basketball when I was two or three years old. The time I knew that I could really take my game to the next level.
Dwight Howard
I want to be the greatest player ever in my era.
Dwight Howard
I'm not a nest-egg person.
Dwight Howard
That's one thing I pride myself on is working hard in the weight room, working hard in practice, trying to become a better player.
