The mind always fails first, not the body. The secret is to make your mind work for you, not against you.

I'm obsessed with packing in as much work as possible during each day, simply because there is only so much time you have in a lifetime. There is nothing better than to go home at night and know that you've done everything that you could do to accomplish your work.

If I train the hardest, run the longest, go beyond what anyone else has the mental determination to do, I will be the winner.

With strength and determination you can do anything you want in life, as long as you believe in yourself, because if you don't, no one else will.

The writing is important, but the way you say the line and the pause you give it, the facial expression - all of that is very important.

I cannot - nor will not - be ordinary. I have to keep training and seeking and growing. I have to stay hungry. It is my will and so has become my nature.

So let me tell you, as you prepare to go off into the world, remember six rules: Trust yourself, Break some rules, Don't be afraid to fail, Ignore the naysayers, Work like hell, and Give something back.
