I'm actually an equestrian, and I showed in the American Paint Horse Association and competed for top 20 in the nation.
There is a tremendous amount of pressure when you are a world No. 1 with everyone behind you trying to knock you down. But I always believe you should be enjoying the pressure at the top. It is a case of being able to relax and keep playing the game that got you there in the first place.
thou art the best o' the cut-throats
In the end, the best music will always rise to the top.
My goal at every tournament is to finish top 18. At the end of the year if I could finish every tournament top 18, that would be pretty good.
I was obsessed with 'Top Spin' for some reason, and I wanted to be the best in the game. I think at one time on Xbox Live I was ranked about 60th. I just couldn't put that one down.

For me, to be in a place where I'm on the 'favourite' list of top directors I like, that's being number one. There is no other definition to me. It's not money; it's not how many songs you're seen in or how many clothes you're changing in the film.
