John McEnroe Quotes

I've won every single event there is to win as a wrestler, and I still continue to come back every single year. The hard part for me is, 'OK, how long can you do this?'

The preparation, commitment and desire to win will be no less than the last time I drove a grand prix car in anger.

To win you've got to stay in the game.

Before me, sprinters retired at 23 or 24. I run because I still like it, I can make a living, and I feel I was born to do it. And because people tell me I can't do it.

I love to be competitive.

If I don't have the drive and determination to wake up every day and train with young, hungry fighters, if I don't want to do that, then I need to get out of the game, but as long as my body says I'm all right, and my hunger stays the same, I'm going to keep going.

I don't know what it is in me that refuses to quit, but I think it's kind of like, dare to dream.

When you play against important teams, you obviously feel more motivated.
