You just wait. I’m going to be the biggest Chinese Star in the world.

Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.

I like to work and am a focused person.

At the major studios, you see people wanting to remake a TV series, wanting to make a sequel.

Our goal is to make it so there’s as little friction as possible to having a social experience.

You know, not to sound corny or nuthin‘, but I felt like a fighter comin‘ up, man. I felt like, you know, I’m being attacked for this reason or that reason, and I gotta fight my way through this.

I wonder how many times people give up just before a breakthrough – when they are on the very brink of success.

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

That feeling is so intoxicating, walking off the court holding the Larry O’Brien trophy. So I just want to do that again.

I’m the most stubborn person I know.

I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done.

I never called my work an ‚art‘. It’s part of show business, the business of building entertainment.

In criticism I will be bold, and as sternly, absolutely just with friend and foe. From this purpose nothing shall turn me.

Never stop fighting until you arrive at your destined place – that is, the unique you. Have an aim in life, continuously acquire knowledge, work hard, and have perseverance to realise the great life.

I am never satisfied with myself and that is what keeps me going – I have no post-satisfaction.

People want you to fail.

The boy who is going to make a great man must not make up his mind merely to overcome a thousand obstacles, but to win in spite of a thousand repulses and defeats.

Do whatever you will, but first be such as are able to will.

He is a man of courage who does not run away, but remains at his post and fights against the enemy.

Nothing will work unless you do.

I like to take every day just searching my own heart, making sure that I’m on course, and I’m doing what God wants me to do. I’m real good with not looking to the critics and looking straight ahead.

I stayed focused, and I never surrendered, and now I’ve been blessed. now I take care of my mother, my father, and my entire whole family.

Productivity is being able to do things that you were never able to do before.

Of course it would be nice for everybody and myself if we could win but we can still have a personal or a team win if we achieve a target that is effectively a win for us.

My mother was a very wonderful woman. When she and my dad divorced, she moved to California and worked two jobs in the cannery at night and as a waitress during the day. But she saved enough money to establish a restaurant.

What I like about Elvis is the same thing I like about James Brown, Michael Jackson, Prince. These guys, back in the day, there was no smoke and mirrors. It was just raw talent. They would step out onstage and command an audience. Talk about awesome.

The major reason for setting a goal is for what it makes of you to accomplish it. What it makes of you will always be the far greater value than what you get.

I knew I’d be in the UFC since I started my career.

Every night on the court I give my all, and if I’m not giving 100 percent, I criticize myself.

The more nobly a man wills and acts, the more avid he becomes for great and sublime aims to pursue. He will no longer be content with family, country, and the remunerative aspect of his work. He will want wider organisations to create, new paths to blaze, causes to uphold, truths to discover, an ideal to cherish and defend.

I don’t think I will ever be content. I am somebody who is always hungry.

We are the creative force of our life, and through our own decisions rather than our conditions, if we carefully learn to do certain things, we can accomplish those goals.

The important thing is that men should have a purpose in life. It should be something useful, something good.

I’m here. I’m not going anywhere. No matter what the injury – unless it’s completely debilitating – I’m going to be the same player I’ve always been. I’ll figure it out. I’ll make some tweaks, some changes, but I’m still coming.

He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind.

Victory belongs to the most persevering.

The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That’s what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they’ll go through the pain no matter what happens.

The McLaren prizes can only help me in my quest to ultimately reach Formula One.

Just remember, you can’t climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets.

The most challenging project I’ve ever done, I think, is every single thing I’ve ever tried to do. It’s never easy.

It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.

I wanna thank MTV and the VMAs for choosing me to be a part of the show because, on this show, if you not an icon or upcomin‘ icon, you’re not on the show, you know?

When I was a little girl, I always dreamed of being a star. I didn’t really know what all that meant. I didn’t know.

Streaming is a really big market for me. We’ve been doing great in the streaming market, so it’s not something I want to alienate at all. Streaming counts now. They’re treating artists the way we deserve to be treated.

Losing is not an option in Kolkata. It’s not easy, a lot of players even quit.

Being second is to be the first of the ones who lose.

I can’t do nothing just a little.

A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself; and a mean man, by one lower than himself. The one produces aspiration; the other ambition, which is the way in which a vulgar man aspires.

I don’t think about the end game. I’ve got lots to occupy my mind. It’s the rage that keeps me going.

I felt unhappy and trapped. If I left baseball, where could I go, what could I do to earn enough money to help my mother and to marry Rachel? The solution to my problem was only days away in the hands of a tough, shrewd, courageous man called Branch Rickey, the president of the Brooklyn Dodgers.

I now have two different audiences. There’s the one that has been watching my action films for 20 years, and the American family audience. American jokes, less fighting.

Unless you are breaking stuff, you are not moving fast enough.

Refuse to be a lazy Christian, and resist a passive, apathetic attitude.

You must take the compromise to win, or else nothing. That means: you race or you do not.

My main goal is to be a self-made man and have control over what’s mine.

Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.

Pursue one great decisive aim with force and determination.

Want balance in your life? Then sure, get your own act together, but don’t forget four powerful disciplines of execution in your team and organization.

All achievements, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea.

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

I wanted to write when I was young, but people said it was impossible. Then my parents locked me in a mental institution – they said I was crazy and would never make a living from writing.
