I'm more interested in the games than the people.

Some people think that if their opponent plays a beautiful game, it's OK to lose. I don't. You have to be merciless.

You need to have that edge, you need to have that confidence, you need to have that absolute belief that you're - you're the best and you'll win every time.

What I admired most about him [Bobby Fischer] was his ability to make what was in fact so difficult look easy to us. I try to emulate him.

Without the element of enjoyment, it is not worth trying to excel at anything.

You have to choose the move that feels right sometimes; that's what intuition is.

I am trying to beat the guy sitting across from me and trying to choose the moves that are most unpleasant for him and his style.

Maybe if I didn't have the talent in chess I'd find the talent in something else. The only thing I know is that I have talent in chess, and I'm satisfied with that.

I don't think there is a thing like overconfidence in chess. It's always better to be too confident than too reluctant.

People ask what my goal is. I don't have a goal.

When you have fun then you're more interested in learning.

The day you were born the angels whispered, "She is going to love him until the day she dies.

Once you think a thought, it is extremely difficult to unthink it. And I had thought the thought.

Change is an opportunity to grow. Change is not an adversity to fear.

The key to self-confidence is knowing that you would choose you... and why. In this way the chosen becomes the chooser, and love versus fear becomes the energy of choice.

I'm an athlete. I'm strong. I'm tough. And that's how women should be. That's how they should be built.

You're here so you're a Scientologist. Now we're going to make you into an expert auditor no matter what happens. We'd rather have you dead than incapable.

I'm perfectly capable of being stupid on my own.

It's rather hard to decide just when people are grown up.

I seek no better warrant than my own, conscience.

You get nothing but the truth from me.
