So if you stay ready, you ain't gotta get ready, and that is how I run my life.

If you're always ready, you don't have to get ready.

On learning to swim: I'm too big to have some woman hold my stomach and say 'Now kick your feet.'

Be magic choose and believe that you can do anything you set your mind to believe. We are who we choose to be.

I've always considered myself to be just average talent and what I have is a ridiculous insane obsessiveness for practice and preparation.

Being realistic is the most commonly travelled road to mediocracy

If you're absent during my struggle, don't expect to be present during my success.
