Amar’e Stoudemire

Swag is something that I've had for a long time.

A woman's outfit says a lot about her.

Be yourself. Don't try too hard — it shows.

I went from just a regular nappy-headed kid in poverty to Amar'e Stoudemire, New York Knicks captain superstar. But there's a lot in between that allowed me to get from point A to point B.

I think swagger's a confidence. It's a confidence of you knowing that you work hard for your success. A lot of times, you can't develop swagger if you haven't worked hard to succeed.

My father used to always give me a basketball, a skate board, and a bike every Christmas. That's all I wanted every year.

If you've got style, you'll show it, no matter the city.

Just going to Africa is amazing; it all comes back to the motherland. It's pretty much where everything started.

Of course New York is the Mecca of style in America, but don't knock Phoenix — it's not as big, but there are lots of people with style there.

You can tailor garments all you want, but if it doesn't fit in the arms or legs, it never will.

You've got to have the right attire for the right event. I attend a lot of dinners, a lot of concerts, and I have to be on the red carpet; each has its own dress code, and I have to be prepared. Jeans and a hoodie are great for a concert, but a dinner party?

I try to celebrate all the holidays that the Scriptures talk about.

To be a great player or a good player in the NBA, I have to work on my perimeter game.
