And when other people see me play basketball...the way I treat my teammates, the opponents, the refs, that's all a reflection of God's image and God's love so that's the stuff I try to focus on.

You don't get respect for being an Asian-American basketball player in the U.S.

This is my dream being lived out and I'm so thankful for that.
Jeremy Lin
With all the media attention, all the love from the fans, I felt I needed to prove myself. Prove that I'm not a marketing tool, I'm not a ploy to improve attendance. Prove I can play in this league. But I've surrendered that to God. I'm not in a battle with what everybody else thinks anymore.

For me, when I get knocked down, I really try to get back up and go at it again. I don't like to give up.

I speak Mandarin and can read and write a little. I took a few classes at Harvard to get better in my reading and writing skills.

I was playing garbage minutes the first two to three weeks. There was definitely a little bit of 'what's going on?' in my prayers.

It seems like everybody's perception of me is very bipolar. To one group, it's overpaid, overrated to another group, it's underpaid, underrated, underdog. It's funny to me because there's no real balance.

Tim Tebow is one of my biggest inspirations. I actually want to be able to do some of the things that he does in terms of the amount of charity work and the non-profit work, and the way he impacts people off the field. I think that is what is most inspiring to me about him.

With pro-gaming that's one of the toughest parts - living game to game.
Jeremy Lin
I'm very humbled and honored. I'm very thankful to the Asian-American Community for all their support!

My family used to call me an oversized kid and I think that's pretty accurate in some ways.
Jeremy Lin
It's the off-the-court spotlight in terms of having people look at you in terms of analyzing every little thing you do in your life, or having less privacy in your day-to-day activities, that's an area I need to get more accustomed to.
Jeremy Lin
I love my family, I love my relatives. One special request I have is for the media back in Taiwan to kind of give them their space because they can't even go to work without being bombarded and people following them.
Jeremy Lin
It's really important to me to go to church, which is sometimes tough when I get back from road trips late on Saturday night, but I try to make it a priority to go every week.
Jeremy Lin
I just think in order for someone to understand my game, they have to watch me more than once, because I'm not going to do anything that's extra flashy or freakishly athletic.
Jeremy Lin
Sometimes you come up against a mountain and you end up making the mountain seem bigger than God.
Jeremy Lin
You don't get better if you win all the time. You look at yourself more when you lose.
Jeremy Lin
The change that I never fall into is the, 'I'm-above-you-look-at-me-do-stuff-for-me change.' The change that I'm hoping I get to is where I become wiser, smarter - where I put myself in situations that don't have a huge potential for disaster.
