I don't give out compliments easily.

I think you can challenge people, but you don't want to break people down. But you've got to sometimes just pull them aside and say, you know, you're OK but you could be better.

Success lulls you. It makes the most ambitious of us complacent and sloppy. In a way, you have to cultivate a kind of amnesia and forget all of your previous prosperity.

Discipline yourself, so no one else has to.

It's my experience that people rise to the level of their own expectations and of the competition they seek out.

Sometimes you learn more from losing than winning. Losing forces you to reexamine.
