I was an idiot when I was a kid.

I have nothing in common with lazy people who blame others for their lack of success.

Everyting negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise.

It's not about the number of hours you practice, it's about the number of hours your mind is present during the practice

These young guys are playing checkers. I'm out there playing chess.

Great things come from hard work and perseverance. No excuses.

I'll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it's sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot.

Heroes come and go, but legends are forever.

I can't relate to lazy people. We don't speak the same language. I don't understand you. I don't want to understand you.

I've known for a long time that they're a bunch of idiots.

The most important thing, the thing that unites all of us, is that we can INSPIRE and CHALLENGE one another TO BE BETTER.

Glory to the Great God of wonders!

Surround yourselves with trustworthy people. If you don't, all the weaponry and tactics in the world can't save you.

Oh my God, I sweat so much! You have to keep deodorant in your purse and use those deodorising wipes that cool you off a bit.

Statement earrings and statement necklaces each deserve their own moment. I never wear the two together; it looks overdone.

My whole religion is this: do every duty, and expect no reward for it, either here or hereafter.

I don't go to clubs and stuff like that, so I don't have to put up with it in there. And normally, because obviously I could hurt somebody, and if I look at it that way, I have to back off.

There are some good rules and there are some lousy rules.

Our thought is the unseen magnet, ever attracting its correspondence in things seen and tangible.

I am ready to die out of nature, and be born again into this new yet unapproachable America I have found in the West.
