To let somebody get 30 points on you, and you feel good because you got 35 on them, that's not good for me, you know what I'm saying? If I get 35, I want him to get 12 or 14 because that means I've done something. I've done my job. I went out there and played hard and did what I had to do.
Americans love a winner. Americans will not tolerate a loser. Americans despise cowards. Americans play to win all of the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost nor will ever lose a war; for the very idea of losing is hateful to an American.
You want to score in every game and to fight hard.
The mentality is always to win.
Failures are expected by losers, ignored by winners.
It doesn't matter who other people are saying the favourite is; I'm still going in to win the gold medal.
Who doesn't want the ball? Everyone wants the ball; everyone wants to score.
I beat Olympians.
It's nice to say you have goals and that you want to win championships. But until you get thrown into the fire, you can't truly grasp what it takes to accomplish those goals.
Winners embrace hard work. They love the discipline of it, the trade-off they're making to win. Losers, on the other hand, see it as punishment. And that's the difference.
I am proud of being a bad loser. Bad losers are winners. That is the way it should be.
If you're afraid of losing, then you daren't win.
When it comes down to playoff basketball, it's attention to detail.
For me, all I want to do is win. Whether I make a hundred tackles or one tackle, all I want to do is win and for the defense to perform well.
Every time I'm on the court, I think I'm the best player. That's the mind-set a lot of players should have.
That's all it takes to get people to win football games for you.
Finding myself in a final with Atletico makes me happy. Why? Because I know the feelings of all the people at the club - because I know how the players feel. They need to see their team as champions, so we have more fans every day.
I used to focus so much on winning. I used to be such a perfectionist.
I never see failure as failure, but only as the game I must play and win.
The key for me is to score goals and win trophies.
We talk in coaching about "winners" - kids, and I've had a lot of them, who just will not allow themselves or their team to lose. Coaches call that a will to win. I don't. I think that puts the emphasis in the wrong place. Everybody has a will to win. What's far more important is having the will to prepare to win.
Although I have won many times now, each time when I have a lead, I start to think about winning. It's very difficult not to think about winning. Every time, there are new challenges. Every time, there are new issues to overcome.
When it came to playing Arsenal over the last eight years of my career at United, we always went into games against them feeling like we would win - and we usually did.
My thing is trying to convince them they can win.
Remember that you are an Englishman, and have consequently won first prize in the lottery of life.
