The hunger [to success] is the same, no matter what it is that you're doing. It's like an unquenchable thirst to learn more, or to feel like you could have done more, and to be brutally honest and self critical, which is very hard to do. It's easy, and human nature is to just blame somebody else. It's very, very hard to self assess.

If you don't believe in yourself...nobo dy else will.

Are you willing to push the right buttons even if it means being perceived as the villain? … I'd rather be perceived as a winner than a good teammate. I wish they both went hand in hand all the time but that's just not reality. … I have nothing in common with lazy people who blame others for their lack of success.

I'm focused on the task that lies ahead for us.

We all can be masters at our craft, but you have to make sacrifices that come along with making that decision.

Everyting negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise.

Everybody shut up. Let us work.
