I don't deal in frustration. I'm a fighter. And everything I've ever gotten, I've had to fight for.

We have free elections. Everybody can vote, we fought for that, we brag about that and we know we're going to have a winner and we're going to have a loser.

Ya know, America's a great country. It's great because it allows you to fight. And you can win, if you have the stamina and tenacity.

I'm not interested in trying to work on people's perceptions. I am who I am, and if you don't take the time to learn about that, then your perception is going to be your problem.

I set my standards so high, no one could be harsher on me than I was.

I don't teach kids to be number 1. Organizations and people that tell you you have to be number 1; that's not it. You don't have to be number 1. What I teach is to be as good as you can be. Use what you have and be as good as you can be. That's all you can do, anyway.

Make sure when anyone tackles you he remembers how much it hurts.
