Jeremy Lin
You don't get better if you win all the time. You look at yourself more when you lose.

Jeremy Lin
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.
Jeremy Lin
I'm not playing to prove anything to anybody.
Jeremy Lin
My family used to call me an oversized kid and I think that's pretty accurate in some ways.
