There are no shortcuts—everything is reps, reps, reps.

My kids just brought home a beautiful pumpkin, but you know what? I'm going to return it because it's a Democratic pumpkin. It has the orange color of John Kerry's tan, and the roundness of Teddy Kennedy.

Just remember, you can't climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets.

You must see it. You must believe it. And then you must never stop working to make it happen.

Do you have to discipline yourself to have breakfast, lunch or dinner? Of course not; and so discipline - the usual concept of it - doesn't apply here. I had to discipline myself to learn English, but never to train.

I think most of my lessons come from sports. That's why I always emphasise to young kids to get involved in sports because it's where you learn about discipline. It's where you learn to keep going, where if you think you can't make it, you can.

The worst thing I can be is the same as everybody else. I hate that.
