Politics is the art of achieving power and prestige without merit.
From a 2009 interview.
When you're succeeding, and you're doing something right... As I've got haters, I know I'm doing something right.
Failing doesn't have to mean not succeeding.
Sometimes you will think you can't take it another day. But if you hang in there, one step at a time, you will be able to accomplish more than you ever imagine.
There's a huge difference between achieving to be happy and happily achieving.
If I had been a good student and an achiever, I might have been excited by a more systematic approach to writing than what I do.
The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success.
We are not in the game to accept where we are at.
One of the most difficult things everyone has to learn is that for your entire life you must keep fighting and adjusting if you hope to survive. No matter who you are or what your position is you must keep fighting for whatever it is you desire to achieve.
How many things, too, are looked upon as quite impossible until they have actually been accomplished?
I am a competitor, and I want to win again and again.
The more you dream the more you achieve.
We know in order to get where we want to be and do what we want to be doing, sometimes we have to do what we don't feel like doing. It takes hard work, and the band name is a constant reminder of that.
We cannot fail to win unless we fail to try.
My aim is to be a winner.
If you aim at nothing, you'll hit it every time.
It's very difficult to have the same motivation in the season after you've won two trophies.
Winners can tell you where they are going and what they plan to do along the way.
Why choose to fail when success is an option?
I have tried to keep on with my striving because this is the only hope I have of ever achieving anything worthwhile and lasting.
I like to see the smiles on people's faces when I show them I can do the impossible.
I'm here to compete. I'm here to be number one.
I miss my kids sometimes and that can get me down when I've been away working, but then I wake up and recognize how incredibly lucky I am. Spending time being down is less time out there achieving and enjoying.
If you want to win forever, you've got to ALWAYS COMPETE.
You're still going to win with preparation and dedication and plain old desire. If you don't have genuine desire, you won't be dedicated enough to prepare properly.
