More quotes by Kobe Bryant
I grew up in front of these people, and now they are seeing me as an 'older' young man.
Kobe Bryant
The hunger [to success] is the same, no matter what it is that you're doing. It's like an unquenchable thirst to learn more, or to feel like you could have done more, and to be brutally honest and self critical, which is very hard to do. It's easy, and human nature is to just blame somebody else. It's very, very hard to self assess.
Kobe Bryant
One thing you gotta know about me is I have absolutely no filter. I have no problem saying what the hell I think of someone.
Kobe Bryant
Christmas morning, I'm going to open presents with my kids. I'm going to take pictures of them opening the presents. Then I'm going to come to the Staples Center and get ready to work.

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.
Kobe Bryant
I realize now that there's a strength in dunking that I can use to my advantage. When you dunk all the time it isn't as demoralizing to the opponent, but when you dunk at a key moment in the game you can use it to change the momentum.
Kobe Bryant
I'm playing against great players, playing against the best in the world. The competition-that's what I've always wanted.
Kobe Bryant
I have my own identity ... The whole Michael thing does drive me nuts sometimes because people won't leave it alone. He's bald, I have hair. He's almost 40, I'm 22. Seriously though, I wish people would let it be and let me just be Kobe.
Kobe Bryant
Sometimes I do wonder what college would have been like. But I made my decision.
Kobe Bryant
Everyting negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise.
Kobe Bryant
When you start training camp, you're building the tools necessary to win a championship. You have to have the patience.
Kobe Bryant
If I panic, everyone else panics.
Kobe Bryant
There's certain companies that line up with what the brand represents. There are other things that are more investment-focused.
