Doug Baldwin Quotes

I'm self-motivated. I'm motivated for myself to be the best I can be - for me to do that, I have to have my own motivation, my own positive energy.

I am my own cheerleader. I am the one who puts my goals, who pushes myself to get to the next goal. I don't have someone next to me saying, 'Here you go, now do this, it's your next step, go for it.'

Comparison is a disease. I never felt any competition, since I never compared myself to others. I only focus on my work. I never feel pressurised and do films in my style. Also, I'm very active since childhood, and that gives me the edge to always put my best.

I love to be pushed so I can prove myself, because once again, I will.

I don't think I could live with myself if I stopped trying.

I think at that time I obviously wasn't aware of what I really needed. But conversely, my wanting to prove something to everyone was beneficial 'cause if I hadn't done it then, maybe I'd never have done it.

The important thing to me is that I'm not driven by people's praise and I'm not slowed down by people's criticism. I'm just trying to work at the highest level I can.

I like to push myself, you know.

I remember my seventh-grade chemistry teacher told me I'd never amount to anything. I thought, 'Hmm. OK.' That gave me motivation to prove her wrong.

I don't get irrational about it, but I do have a deeply-rooted competitive spirit. Not necessarily towards other people, but towards any obstacle that I set for myself.

I just have to be better. There's not much else to say.

I am not competing with anyone. I am competing with myself. When I wake up every day I am only worried about how I can better myself.

I've always had high expectations of myself. I've never felt that there was anything I couldn't do in this world.

I think I'm confident because I'm free, I challenge myself, and I stick to what I do.

I love putting a chip on my shoulder. It's just more motivation to go out there and show my ability.

I've always been the type of person that thinks, 'If someone else can do it, so can I.'

Nothing makes you try harder than to be told that you are not good enough or that you simply do not have the skills.

I'm always pushing myself.

Any time you feel like you're not playing up to your potential, I think that drives you.

Just as much as you need the people who love you, you need the people who doubt you - to prove them wrong.

You have your best workouts when you go in thinking you don't want to do it, because you're so satisfied with your own determination and grit.

Every year, every day, every month, I am proving myself.

I don't know if I'm the best of the best. But I did know that if I quit, I wouldn't be.

If you sit and feel sorry for yourself, you're wasting your time. You should be in acting class, instead of feeling sorry for yourself. You should be working.

When you've something to fight for, you get the best out of yourself.
