I'm honest. If people aren't putting in the effort, I will definitely let them know because I think that that can only help them.

You have to fight harder, dig deeper, and prove all the doubters wrongs.

The harder you work and the more prepared you are for something, you're going to be able to persevere through anything.

Nothing in life is worthwhile unless it's kind of hard to get there.

Work hard at everything you do. Never give up. Never quit. Many people have talents but without the hard work you won't get anywhere.

Every time I step in between those lines, I'm in the zone. If you get between me and the ball, you might get smashed a couple times. Things happen, plays happen.

I'm a competitor. No matter what I'm doing, whether I'm golfing, whether I'm playing indoor soccer with my fiancé - he's not going to get by me. I'm going to try to do whatever I can to win.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't human and tears weren't rolling down my face and I wasn't pissed and I wasn't angry. There are lots of times that those emotions come out in my career.

It's the same old story. A man came like the beautiful wind, left like a destructive storm.

If you keep your eyes so fixed on heaven that you never look at the earth, you will stumble into hell.

I look at victory as milestones on a very long highway.

In childhood we all have ... a far higher sensibility for April and April evenings - a heartache for them, which in riper years is gradually and irretrievably consoled.

Low aim, not failure, is the crime.

My mom just told me the lines, because I didn't know how to read yet. I copied them and that's what I did.

P.S. I enjoy acid pops.

As I said in my state of the state address, we can no longer rely on gaming and sales taxes to pay our way. Indian gaming next door in California is eroding our major industry in Nevada.

I get inspiration everywhere - by my friends, my family, and mostly love.

The key to creating passion in your life is to find your unique talents, and your special role and purpose in the world.
