The minute you step off that podium is the minute you start preparing for the next world championship. That's kind of how I work. You celebrate for a brief moment, then you move on.

You really have to love the work. You can't look for stardom. That's a by-product.

You must find something that you deeply love and are passionate about and are willing to sacrifice a lot to achieve.

It doesn't matter how you look. As long as you train hard, you focus and you're hungry, and that drive is in you to follow your dreams, everything is possible.

Find something that you're really interested in doing in your life. Pursue it, set goals, and commit yourself to excellence. Do the best you can.

I just have to keep working hard.

No one succeeds without effort... Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance.

I've always thought that if you work really hard at something, you can get it.

And where I excel is ridiculous, sickening, work ethic. You know, while the other guy's sleeping? I'm working.

You will encounter many distractions and many temptations to put your goal aside: The security of a job, a wife who wants kids, whatever. But if you hang in there, always following your vision, I have no doubt you will succeed.

You must be passionate, you must dedicate yourself, and you must be relentless in the pursuit of your goals. If you do, you will be successful.

Follow what your head is telling you and work hard. That's the big secret.

To succeed, you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you.
