James Arthur Quotes

I've always looked for challenges, and I have found plenty.

When I started travelling, I would go to a city and be on television and I used to get the question, 'Why do you work? If I were you, I'd just go and lie on a beach somewhere.' And I'd answer, 'Well, I wanted to make something of my life.'

Challenges give me a kick. The day I stop getting challenges, I would quit.

My comfort zone is like a little bubble around me, and I've pushed it in different directions and made it bigger and bigger until these objectives that seemed totally crazy eventually fall within the realm of the possible.

When it comes down to it, at the end of the day, I need more out of my life and I need to push myself harder. And if at the end of the day I don't have it, then I don't have it, but at least I'm going to put myself out there. If I fail, I'm going to fail terrifically.

Most of the time, I do what I'm offered, but after I worked for it. I think I try much harder for the things that scare me and inspire me. The things that scare and inspire you are things that are different from what you did before.

I think the moments that are difficult for anybody are when you see what your life could be, if only you had the courage to take the steps needed.

I went from thinking, 'I wonder if I can be a broadcaster. Will anybody give me a chance? Maybe I can get a shot at it,' to thinking, 'Man, I want to do this for a long time.'

I've been lucky enough to do a lot of very interesting things, and every time, I've been like, 'I want to put everything into this because I want to see how far I can go with it.'

When I left I knew I was gonna go back to WWE. But I needed to go because whatever I was doing wasn't working. I needed to take a chance on myself and get better. The only way to do that was take some risks and go somewhere.

No matter where you come from, no matter what you decide to do in life, you can do anything you want to do.

It always sounds so cheesy when I say it, but whatever it is you want to do, just go for it. I don't care what it is: find a reputable school, or if you need to go to college or get the right training, just go do it and take little steps.

I love challenges, as it breaks the monotony and takes me out of my comfort zone.

You can become whoever you want to be. You can do what you want to do.

I'm looking to try to do more out there and just taking advantage of the opportunities that I've been given.

Abandon anything about your life and habits that might be holding you back. Learn to create your own opportunities. Know that there is no finish line; fortune favors action. Race balls-out toward the extraordinary life that you’ve always dreamed of, or still haven’t had time to dream up. And prepare to have a hell of a lot of fun along the way.

Me and success are two things you don't wanna find yo ass between. Back against the wall like plasma screens.

What have you always wanted to do but been afraid to attempt? Whatever it is, it may be your greatest opportunity in life.

I do think opportunity breeds bravery. It's such a competitive profession, no one owes you anything, talent in itself is not enough. I went to drama school with so many great actors who are not doing it anymore and it's circumstantial.

I wanted to be a success in radio. There was no way it was ever gonna happen if I stayed where I was born. It was not possible. Nothing against where I was born. Nothing against the people there. It just wasn't possible.

Obviously, I'm still building a name and reputation for myself. The stigmas that come with my past will remain there for quite some time, but I'm not afraid to challenge those things, and I never have been.

You've got to get to the stage in life where going for it is more important than winning or losing.

If you don't have a mountain, build one and then climb it. And after you climb it, build another one; otherwise you start to flatline in your life.

I just want to do everything. I don't want to sound soppy or too cliched, but that's the way it is.

Why do I want to be challenged or have challenges? That's why I don't go climb mountains.
