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.

More quotes by Jeremy Lin
I'm very humbled and honored. I'm very thankful to the Asian-American Community for all their support!
Jeremy Lin
I just try to make sure that when I get there on the floor, I play as hard as I can and try to do everything I can to help the team win.
Jeremy Lin
I'm a playmaker. I'm always attacking the rim and have somewhat of a reckless style. I try to be everywhere at once.
Jeremy Lin
I get scared of a lot of attention. I get scared of the spotlight. And I'm not talking about on the basketball court.
Jeremy Lin
You don't get respect for being an Asian-American basketball player in the U.S.
Jeremy Lin
Coming out of college into the draft, being Asian-American and being from Harvard, that's not going to be an advantage because of stereotypes.
Jeremy Lin
My first dunk ever was in middle school. We were playing, me and my church friends, and I dunked it, and I swear I could not sleep that night.
Jeremy Lin
And people are always saying he deceptively quick, deceptively athletic, and I don't know if that's just because I'm Asian or what it is, but obviously there's going to be stereotypes that you have to fight.
Jeremy Lin
Sometimes you come up against a mountain and you end up making the mountain seem bigger than God.
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.
Jeremy Lin
Not sure if that will benefit me or hurt me, but I know I have the skills and am ready to play in the NBA regardless of my ethnicity.
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
Just this whole journey [of life] has been a blessing from God, so for me to be here [on Earth] I'm just taking it one day at a time and really enjoying it.
Jeremy Lin
With pro-gaming that's one of the toughest parts - living game to game.
Jeremy Lin
In many ways, the longer I live, I understand that there are so many things outside my control. That’s why I believe faith is such a big part of the story. There are so many things that were orchestrated by God, that were put into place to make this perfect storm, that created Linsanity.
Jeremy Lin
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.
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
I just try to play as hard as I can every possession. If you're aware and you're high-energy, the ball will eventually bounce your way and you'll be able to make plays.
Jeremy Lin
I'm not playing to prove anything to anybody.
Jeremy Lin
I'm not like the next Michael Jordan, but I'm also not what everyone saw me as before I started playing in the NBA, either.
