Aptitude starts with attitude.

You create your own luck by the way you play. There is no such luck as bad luck. Fate has nothing to do with success or failure, because that is a negative philosophy that indicts one's confidence, and I'll have no part of it.

I've always lived to seize the moment, to squeeze every drop of expectation out of myself for whatever that moment gives you.

To me I've just really, really found a relaxed, peaceful side of my life and I'm enjoying it.

I screwed up. It's all on me. I know that...All these hiccups I have, they must be for a reason. All this is just a test. I just don't know what the test is yet.

You only get out of it what you put into it. If you are a sheep in this world, you're not going to get much out of it.

I'm a very intense person. When I go after something, I want to go after it with everything I have. I want to push myself to the edge.
