I'm very competitive. I remember being 4 years old trying to out-chug my dad in a milk-chugging contest. It's been in my blood.
If I cannot overwhelm with my quality, I will overwhelm with my quantity.
There's always another record, then there's always another person to catch up with or to pass.
Just as I wanted to outdo everyone when I played, I had to outdo everyone when we were out on the town.
Competition whose motive is merely to compete, to drive some other fellow out, never carries very far.
I'm always trying to figure out ways to one up everyone, and that's what I love about competitions. I love challenging myself and pushing the envelope.
Urijah's about Urijah. He's about number one. He's always been that way. No matter what it is he needs to be doing something better than you, he needs to be one-upping you. He's a one-upper.
I don't really pay attention to the guy I outwork for the rebound, it's really just hearing the crowd just be like, 'Ohhhhh.' They just get frustrated. That's a good feeling.
I was giving some of my teammates a hard time, saying I've got more pop than they do.
I wanted to be the best, and I was going to outplay anyone out there. I've always been that way.
We're a very success-driven culture, which is such a downer at times. Even if you don't think that way, you're forced to think that way. Everyone is trying to subconsciously out-do everyone else.
In New York there isn't that weird palpable competitive thing where it's friendly but everyone isn't trying to top one another with jokes when you're just hanging around.
A man who prides himself on being better than his fellow-men thinks it a disgrace if he does not do something more than they do, whereby his superiority may be apparent.
