I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

One of the things about leadership is that you've got to show up. And if you want to be president of the United States you've got to make a case to the American people that Barack Obama needs to be dismissed from his position.

Have you heard of this new thing called the internet? It's giving people new expectations. It's allowing them to become their own expert. Knowledge lies anxious at their fingertips. Gloss over the truth in your advertising and you'll quickly be dismissed as a poser.

I think there's a lot projected on beautiful women period. At least maybe this is just my fear but I do sometimes feel dismissed before I've even been allowed to participate. I have moments of feeling really wounded. But I am pretty optimistic and I do enjoy a lot of my life.

I took a Fear of Flying class and I always missed the class because I was always flying.

I'd had people say 'You'll enjoy being famous for a week and you'll never enjoy it again'. But I don't think I had that week. I may have been working and missed that moment.

I missed my home - like the physicality of my home I missed my friends and my family mostly and just hanging out and being in your home country - culturally it feels right and that is what I miss.

When you experience a failure as a leader don't hide it - talk about it. Your missed opportunity will encourage others to take risks.

Don't be afraid of missing opportunities. Behind every failure is an opportunity somebody wishes they had missed.
