I don't think that once you get to one level, you can relax. You've got to keep pushing.

A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.

Push yourself again and again. Don't give an inch until the final buzzer sounds.

Don't let winning make you soft. Don't let losing make you quit. Don't let your teammates down in any situation.

I've got a theory that if you give 100% all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end.

I learned what my weaknesses were and I went out the next day to turn those weaknesses intro strengths.

My coach told me, "Larry, no matter how much you work at it, there's always someone out there who's working just a little harder - if you take 150 practice shots, he's taking 200." And that drove me.

You're all playin' for second place.

Well, I'm known as a guitar-rock guy, you know? You're not supposed to play with synthesizers. This is not in the rulebook.

I think that's why art prevails: because it helps people in a fairly intangible, magical way feel more connected to each other.

Love is visceral and real. Love is physical. It embraces all things. Love doesn't space you out or take you out of this world.

Most people in America understand that the rich people hire good accountants and figure out how not to necessarily pay all the taxes.

It's all about this abstract entity called the story. It's all about the best way to tell the story, and to make a movie about the issues that this story is about. Filmmaking is storytelling, for me.

One thing we forget about Hispanics is that they're family-unit-oriented as a culture. So it's not all wild Mexican gangs out there, as is rumored.

When you stifle human potential, when you don't invest in new ideas, it doesn't just cut off the people who are affected; it hurts us all.
