Superstars think like superstars long before the fans or the press anoint them.

As soon as anyone starts telling you to be "realistic," cross that person off your invitation list.

The physical symptoms of fight or flight are what the human body has learned over thousands of years to operate efficiently and at the highest level...anxiety is a cognitive interpretation of that physical response.

Anyone who strays too far from the majority view or the conventional wisdom is bound to be labeled "arrogant," "a maverick," "a Wildman," "weird," or even "crazy."

Overachievers don't think reasonably, sensibly, or rationally.

Superstars perform so naturally and so instinctively that they seem to be able to enter a pressure-packed situation that would terrify or freeze most people as if nothing matters. They let it happen, let it go. They couldn't care less about the results.

Confidence is consistency of thinking about what is possible and how to make it possible.
