Each match I play is the most important one yet.

Carlsen will be ridiculously difficult to play against. (on the 2013 World Championship match)

Confidence is very important - even pretending to be confident. If you make a mistake but do not let your opponent see what you are thinking then he may overlook the mistake.

If revenge motivates you, go for it! But the main thing is to set your game in order.

Intuition in chess can be defined as the first move that comes to mind when you see a position.

You need to motivate yourself, no matter what-definitely when things are bad, but also when things are good. Or else, you risk becoming complacent.

I attend to my fitness. I go the gym every day and try to maintain my physical fitness; without that, it is tough to take challenges on the chess board.

All men by nature desire to know.

But whatever the Lord throws at me right now, I think I've been given more blessings than I ever deserved. If he wants to top it off with anything - boy, girl - I would love either of them.

Have no judgments about your life, no expectations, and give up the need to know what happens tomorrow.

This is sweet to see your foe, perish and pay to justice all he owes.

I loved every place I lived and traveled. London, Paris, Rome, Venice. I fell hard for Central America and Mexico. In each country, I had fantasies that I could live there.

No artist knows everything... but since every artist knows more than he can tell, all art is lying by omission.

No-one works for money alone and tapping into what people want from their careers and what they have to offer is essential.

I would like to work with anyone in the business who wants to give respect back to the Jamaican vibe.

Whenever I think of the past, it brings back so many memories.
